Introduction
Stanwardine in the Wood features an Elizabethan hall near a medieval moated site. A deer park was established about the same time as the house, and there is a sundial of 1560 in the gardens. Field names show it to have lain within the tongue of land which extends about a mile south of Stanwardine Hall. The road to Westoncommon defines the east and south sides of the park.
