Neston Park, Grade II* listed building in Corsham, England
Neston Park is a two-story country house featuring eight bays across its main facade and built with ashlar stone, with a third story added at the rear. The estate encompasses an organic farm raising Jersey and cross-bred cattle, and public footpaths wind through its parkland.
The estate traces its origins to the 15th century under Thomas Tropenell, then passed to the Eyre family and later the Hanham baronets before John Fuller acquired it. Each owner left their mark on the property's development and current character.
The Fuller family, with ties to a London brewery, shaped this estate across multiple generations and sent several members to Parliament. The family's influence remains visible in how the property and grounds are arranged.
Visitors can explore the grounds using marked public pathways that provide access to different sections of the parkland. It is best to wear comfortable footwear and stay on designated routes to respect the property.
The property contains Park Lane Quarry, a Bath Stone mine dating from 1880 that was reopened in 2013 to resume extraction. The quarry continues a tradition of stone quarrying that has deep roots at this location.
