This area was relandscaped between 1851 and 1891 (during which time the landscaped area of Hickleton Park more than doubled) although most of the elements of the plan form shown in 1851 can be traced as at least relict features. The present polygon approximates to the boundary of the park as shown in 1851. The English Heritage (Register of Parks and Gardens) interpretation of the park, which gives the 1840s for initial landscaping and the early 20th century for the extention of the park has been questioned by Roberts (1995) who points out that "many of the changes which left the grounds in their present form are shown on the [1893] map and are therefore at least two decades earlier than suggested" Klemperer and Merrony (2004, 6) suggest that the landscaping visible on the 19th century mapping in this area may well have dated to the late 18th century with "a mix of late C.18th and C.19th characteristics… with pleasure grounds delineated by an C.18th ha-ha". Their report goes on to detail that this landscape had "changed drastically by the early C.20th, and was overwritten by a larger complex semiformal landscape." These drastic changes included the creation of extended parkland to the south and west (see 'Barnbrough Park' HSY4188) and further woodland development in the early 20th century. Despite these changes there is still significant legibility of the probable late 18th century / early 19th century plan form of this park and its 18th century (1745) Hall and stables and 19th century (disused kitchen gardens). Nb Hall incorporates masonry in its northern wall from a C.16th predecessor.
