Full description
The deer park associated with the Bishop's Palace at Penryn (prn 18661) is first recorded in 1311, as a "free warren" (4). 'Lord Burghley's Map' c1580 shows the area surrounding Glasney College in some detail. It includes the area to the south and west of Glasney occupied by a large walled enclosure called the West Wood (Ye West Wode); this was recorded as a deer park until sometime after 1450 (9).
It was disparked after 1540. According to Wingfield, the park was probably situated in the area including College Field and is reflected in the place-names 'College Wood', 'West Wood' and 'East Wood'; the high ground above Eastwood Farmhouse still being owned by the ecclesiastical commissioners (8). Glasney College (prn 18660) lay on the N edge of this area.
