Mayfield Park, Southampton

Mayfield Park is a recreational area straddling Woolston and Weston in Southampton, England.

The mill site was rebuilt as a private house in the 19th century, but this suffered bomb damage during World War II and was abandoned.

[2][3] This takes the form of a Portland stone Obelisk, situated on the highest point of the estate where a windmill once stood.

[2] Col Wright subsequently dedicated the Obelisk to two of his favourite horses,[5] who are buried in the park.

From 1889 to 1913, Mayfield House and the estate was owned by Granville Augustus William Waldegrave, 3rd Lord Radstock.

During World War I, Mayfield House was used to nurse wounded soldiers,[5] serving as an annexe to the Royal Victoria Military Hospital at Netley.

As the family was no longer able to maintain the Mayfield estate, it was sold to Southampton City Council.
