Part of the Royal Manor of Richmond since Domesday, Richmond Park was enclosed by King Charles I around 1635 as a post-medieval deer park. The manor was mostly agricultural land in the early 18th century, but Terrace Walk was laid out at the top of Richmond Hill in the later 18th century, followed by construction of further grand houses, including Downe House. The house was built circa 1780,[2] and at one time was owned by Richard Brinsley Sheridan.[1]
