Burghley House (TF 00 NW 38) stands in a walled park of 1 500 acres which has long been divided into three parks: the High Park which is the Deer Park, the Middle Park, adjacent to which lies Waterloo Plain, so called because of its reputed resemblance to the field of Waterloo, and the Low Park, extending from the house to the town of Stamford and used by the people of Stamford as a place of recreation. The park was created by 1712 as it is shown on a map of that date (3-5)
