The Ordnance Survey note that "The prior and convent of Durham had a deer park at Hedworth as early as the time of Bishop Farnham (1241-49)", and quote as a source E.P. Shirley, English Deer Parks (1867), p. 227. They also record that the words "The Park" appear on the 1st edition Ordnance Survey plan east of Hedworth village. The whole area is now built up.
