Bulstrode Park
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Bulstrode Park is a large park to the northwest of the Buckinghamshire town of Gerrard's Cross in the English Home Counties.
The house was built in 1686 for the notorious Judge Jeffreys. It was sold to the first Earl of Portland, who made it one of his principal residences. It was used by Margaret Bentinck, the wife of the 2nd Duke to house her natural history and antiquities collection, with the park used for live specimens.
When the fourth Duke of Portland inherited the title in 1809 he disposed of it. It then passed into the hands of the Dukes of Somerset.
