| Erringden Park | Ref E311 |
Local names – such as Roebucks, Buckstones, Deerstones, Doestones – derive from this. Sheep were also kept at the park.
The fence and ditch were built around the park to contain the deer – see Palace House.
The fence and ditch remained until 1449 when Richard, Duke of York, then Lord of the Manor, ordered that it be dispaled [by letters patent dated March 1449] and turned into farmland and demised to tenants at rents amounting altogether to £24 per annum.
In 1451, the Park of Erringden was divided and let, and Thomas Stansfeld went to the Court and took of the lord a fourth part of the park as it lay between Birnedakirygate (Burntacres Gate) and Beamonde-cloughe. The other Lord Tenants were Thomas Sutcliffe, Richard Fourness, Ralph Eastwood, John Ryleye, Robert Akeroid, and John Sunderland.
In 1548, it was granted by Edward VI to Sir William Willoughby, knight, and others, who sold it to Richard Whalley of Welbeck.
Later, the property was the tenure of Thomas Stansfeld junior and Thomas Stansfeld senior, and others.
It is said that a bell was used to call the animals for feeding, and that this gave the name to Bell House.
