'The assembling, then dismemberment of the Chateau Deer Park' – speaker Alan Baker
John Corbett needed a more prestigious seat to boost his aspiration to become an MP. This illustrated talk focusses on the fortuitous availability of the site where he built the Chateau. The previous and subsequent history of the area he designated as a Deer Park presented both advantages and problems. What happened to the Park in the century after his death, right up to the revived Hill Climb, will reveal some surprises.
