Description
Newark Park It’s easy to imagine why Sir Nicholas Poyntz, an attendant to Henry VIII, chose to build his state-of-the-art hunting lodge here in c.1550. The dramatic and secluded landscape was perfect for hosting guests in style. Each subsequent owner made the house their own, embellishing it to keep up with the fashions of the day and to impress guests.
The Clutterbuck family in particular made their mark working with various architects including James Wyatt who installed the eye-catching stained-glass window. As a hunting lodge and then a family home, servants kept everything running behind the scenes, hidden away in the basement, the engine house for the elite above. The house and garden fell on hard times in the mid-20th century. Luckily an American architect Bob Parsons invested time and money rejuvenating Newark Park and it became a place for gatherings and parties again.
