‘RYME INTRINSECA (47). A manorial survey of 1511 in the County Record Office of lands belonging to the Arundell family, mentions ‘the park of Ryme’ (CRO ref. 354). Ryme Park is also referred to in Court Rolls and other documents during the reign of James I. Mr. J. H. Bettey kindly passed on these references, including the mention of ‘certaine Lands Knowne by ye name of the parke’ from a survey of 1612. It seems probable that the park lay somewhere south of the church, but nothing suggesting a park boundary has been discovered in the neighbourhood, and it appears unlikely that a true medieval deer-park existed there.’
