Abstract: |
The deer park wall at Berry Pomeroy is one of the earliest and best preserved deer park walls in Devon. Its date has yet to be firmly established, but probably lies in the medieval period, possibly as early as 1207 when the park was first enclosed. There are remains of an internal ditch and bank which are thought to be contemporary but which might possibly represent the first boundary or pale, which was later encircled by the wall. The park includes an area which appears to be a later medieval or early post-medieval extension. The park ceased to be maintained as a deer park c. 1700 and became used for farmland and forestry. |
