Introduction
In the 14th century the park at Whittington was raided. Fulk Fitzwarren claimed that 205 horses, 168 cattle, 500 sheep, and 100 swine were taken, as well as deer, fish, and timber. The park had a moated lodge, adjacent to which was a group of fishponds. The park had presumably ceased to exist in the 16th century, when Park Hall was built to replace the lodge.
