Abstract:		 A desk-based assessment was undertaken prior to the submission of a planning application for residential redevelopment. From the 13th century through to at least the mid 16th century the study area belonged to the Bishop of Worcester and was used as a deer park. The 1299 Manorial survey combined with place name evidence suggested that part of the study area was possibly occupied by a rabbit warren (Conyngre) during the 13th century. From the 17th/18th centuries onwards Pen Park was a large estate described in 1779 as having 'extreme gardens and pleasure grounds'. By the 19th century the study area, and indeed most of Pen Park appeared to have been used primarily for agricultural purposes and the parkland was divided up between Lower Pen Park and Upper Pen Park. Apart from the construction of Pen Park School in 1957, the study area appeared to have remained undeveloped land. [Au(adp)]
