Summary
Possible deer park.
Map
Type and Period (1)
Full Description
Place names, such as Park Coppice (centred ST 790169) found on the OS 6" map and Park Close found in the Tithe Apportionment, suggest the possibility of a park site. However, there seems to be no documentary reference to a Medieval deer park at Hinton St. Mary and examination of the area has revealed no significant earthworks, so its existence must be doubtful. <1>
Centred ST 79151695 Park Coppice is an area of deciduous woodland banded by a modern field bank. No trace of a park pale, or feature possibly associated with a park, was found and local enquiry as to the derivation of the name 'Park Coppice" proved negative. <2>
