Newbold Comyn
Newbold Comyn is a park that is found on the eastern edge of Leamington Spa, Warwickshire, England. It is described by some people as a ''country park in all but name''.〔(A ramblers group guide to the park )〕
== History ==
The first mention of Newbold Comyn in history was in the Domesday Book when it was mentioned that one of the two mills of Leamington were situated there. In 1539 two men, Richard Willes and William Morcote jointly purchased the land that was now a farm. When Richard Willes died in 1564 his son inherited the whole estate as Richard had married Morcote's daughter. At the end of the 18th century the Revd. Edward Willes built a new house on the estate in addition to the existing farm house. In all the Willes family held their land for over 400 years, but they finally sold it to the Leamington Corporation in the 1960s. The main house was demolished in 1965, leaving only the farm and outbuildings.〔Geoffrey Tyack, ''Warwickshire Country Houses'', pub. Phillimore 1994.〕 During the Second World War the Luftwaffe dumped two bombs on the park whilst returning to base from Coventry. The craters can still be seen. The Corporation laid out the leisure park in the 1970s and the land usage has remained the same ever since although it is now run by Warwick District Council. There used to be an old steam engine on which young people could climb and play, but this had to be removed due to health and safety regulations.
