Tracy Park

Tracy Park derived its name from John de Tracye, who acquired it in 1246. His descendants, Lords of the Manor of Doynton, held the property until the end of the 16th century, including a bailiff Sir William Wintor, Lord of Dyrham, a merchant who took commercial advantage of the re-building of the British Fleet that destroyed the Spanish Armada in 1586. The present appearance of the house was created in 1808 and was the inspiration for Birtwick Park in the book "Black Beauty", written by Anna Sewell (who lived nearby) and published in 1877. A country estate until 1973, Tracy Park is now a Golf and Country Club, it consists of approximately 240 acres of land.
