Village History : Higham Park

This formerly extra-parochial district, but now independent parish, is within liberty of Rushden, from which it is distant about 1½ miles. It contains one farm-house, now in the occupation of Mr Ralph Dearlove, and 66 acres of the rateable value of £700, and of the gross estimated rental of £820. The tithes, which are impropriated, were commuted, in 1839, for a rentcharge of £120. The park (now disparked) was originally formed in the reign of Henry II.

There is no list of any other occupants of the Park.
