Harrow Lodge Park

Harrow Lodge Park is an extensive rolling park, formerly the manor of Maylards Green and Wybridge. The original name is derived from the Mayloor family who held the manor in the 13th and 14th centuries. The name was corrupted in the 19th century to Maylands as denoted by Maylands Avenue in Elm Park. In 1594 Maylards was an important house standing near the present boating lakes in Harrow Lodge Park; in 1670 the house was recorded as having 17 hearths and in 1849 the combined manors totalled some 440 acres.There is no longer a house on the site and the park was developed for public use in the 20th century.
