- History
The house was initially used as a public reading room and museum, later becoming a health clinic until it was demolished in the 1980s to make way for a Leisure Centre.
The park has been part of the Fields in Trust historic protection programme and has been protected since July 2013 under the Queen Elizabeth II Fields protection type.
