Brief history of site
Williamstrip Park has been the home of the Hick Beach family, the Earls St Aldwyn, from the late-18th century to the early-21st century. Before 1700 there was a formal layout at the site, which was modified from the mid-18th century when the park and grounds were developed in two stages by different owners. Richard Woods may have been involved in the work at the end of the 18th century. In the mid-19th century there were further improvements to the estate, including the creation of formal gardens by David Brandon.
