The History of Charlton Park<\/h2>\n

[\/vc_column_text][vc_column_text]Charlton Park has been in the possession of the Earls of Suffolk since the late 16th Century. The land on which Charlton Park Mansion is built belonged originally to the Abbey of Malmesbury.<\/p>\n

At the Dissolution of the Monasteries in 1539, the fabric of the Abbey and much of its property was bought by a prosperous clothier of Malmesbury named Stumpe. By the end of the century the part of his estate which included Charlton was passed to his great-granddaughter, Catherine, daughter of Sir Henry Knyvet (whose tomb is in Charlton Church).<\/p>\n

Catherine\u2019s second husband was Lord Thomas Howard, 1st Earl of Suffolk; Charlton Park House was built for her on the property which she had brought into the marriage. It was ready for occupation by 1607.<\/p>\n

After Catherine\u2019s death Charlton Park was inherited by her second son, Thomas, who in 1626 was created the first Earl of Berkshire. His descendants lived here until the union of the Suffolk and Berkshire families in the mid-18th Century.
\nThe current Earl is the 21st Earl of Suffolk and the 14th Earl of Berkshire.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row full_width=”stretch_row” css=”.vc_custom_1480338303619{margin-top: 15px !important;margin-bottom: 40px !important;padding-top: 0px !important;background-position: 0 0 !important;background-repeat: no-repeat !important;}”][vc_column width=”1\/2″ css=”.vc_custom_1478075257916{padding-top: 0px !important;}”]
