Cole Park

It stands on land once known as Cowfold that was owned in the Middle Ages by the Abbey of Malmesbury, and in the Tudor period was a royal stud.

The house is in the grounds of a former medieval monastic deer-park, originally known as Cowfold, once owned by the Abbey of Malmesbury.

[3] The estate was taken by the Crown in the Dissolution of the Monasteries, and in the Tudor period Cole Park was a royal stud-farm,[4] which in 1625 was leased by Sir George Marshall.

[3] The earliest extant parts of the house date to the mid-sixteenth century but it has been extensively renovated and changed during its history.

It was repaired in 1796 for Peter Lovell and in the modern era had a complete refurbishment in 1981 by William Bertram.
