Purchased 30th Nov -0001
Edward Parson 'brought several of his West Indian Negro servants to Little Parndon. He apparently altered and enlarged the house which in 1771 was a neat and elegant modern building, with a mid 18th century front of three storeys with full height bays at each end and a roof pediment. Parson also landscaped the park, adding lakes, a temple, and probably the 'ruins' which survived in the early 19th century.'
