Averham park shown on Chapman's map of 1774, name remains for buildings but park has mostly gone on Sanderson, 1835. Throsby says "park which was heretofore an ornament to the neighbourhood, and a splendid appendage to the mansion ... on it remains the keeper's house and a few of the park fence". The former hunting lodge, of 1718-20, is listed grade Il*, service wing grade II. (1)
