Full Description
ST 340020) Licence to make and enclose a deer park on his manor of 'Holdich' was granted to Sir Thomas Brook in 1397.
The location of the park can only be conjectured, but the most likely position seems to be between Holditch Court Lane and the Blackwater River, where there is a suitable area conspicuously free of roads and other rights of way.
There are no significant field-names and no convincing line for the park boundary could be identified, although many hedge lines are heavily embanked. (1)
