Neston Park

[1][3] The route of the ancient Roman road from London to Bath crosses the home farm from east to west, about 200 metres (700 feet) south of the house.

[4] The Neston estate was built up by Thomas Tropenell in the 15th century, passed to the Eyre family and then by marriage to the Baronets Hanham.

[7] In 1910, the then owner of Neston Park, John Michael Fuller MP, was created a baronet on the recommendation of the Asquith government.

[6][8] In the late 1990s, the estate went into a Countryside Stewardship Scheme agreement with the Ministry of Agriculture, Fisheries and Food, supporting a programme of hedge, wall, and wild flower field margin restoration.

[9][10] The estate has been used as the filming location of a number of productions, including the outdoor sets for the 2008 BBC television adaptation of Lark Rise to Candleford, and some scenes of the ITV series Persuasion.
