==History==
Clissold House (''formerly'' Paradise House) was built, in the latter half of the 18th century, for Jonathan Hoare,〔(Quaker history page )〕 a City merchant, Quaker, philanphropist and anti-slavery campaigner. (His brother, Samuel, half-brother of Sir Joseph Hoare Bt, was one of the founders of the Society for Effecting the Abolition of the Slave Trade.) The park was created to be his idyll, and the stretch of water which wends its way around the house was once part of the New River, a canal that supplied London with clean water from Hertfordshire.〔http://www.timeout.com/london/features/5576/2.html〕
After 1811, the estate passed, via the Crawshaw family to Augustus Clissold; but, when he died in 1882, developers closed in, and activists John Runtz and Joseph Beck (members of the Metropolitan Board of Works)〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://hidden-london.com/gazetteer/clissold-park/ )〕 who convinced the authorities to open it as a public space in 1889. A fountain was erected in 1890 commemorating them; later, the park’s two wildlife ponds were named after them too. As 'Beckmere' and 'Runtzmere'.〔
