Among state papers petition 20.10.1631 from Henry E of Kent begging that John Kyrle to whom Penyard Park has been leased might be restrained from felling timber trees. These amounting to 20000 had been reserved by the lease, but notwithstanding Sir John "has felled and converted into coal for making iron above 1800 trees & still continues". (SO 62 22) 13. Historic Farm (SMR 12672 - MHE5528) recorded as part of the Herefordshire Historic Farmsteads Characterisation Project. Present on the Ordnance Survey First Edition, Pre-WW2 and Modern maps (SO 60739 21376). 14. Landscape Park (SMR 31246 - MHE16251). Cobrey has been an estate since the Middle Ages. It was bought by Henry Barnett in 1813; he built the present mansion. The estate covered 324 acres in 1849; no park was laid out, but there were many trees. Coughton Brook runs through the estate, widening into a mill pond two fields away from the house. The 1840 tithe map names the area in front of the house 'The Lawn'. Neither the tithe map nor the 1831 OS 1" map shows a park, so the trees must have been planted after 1840. An 1849 sale plan shows a walled garden SW of the house. The gardens are described in an 1890 sale catalogue. They included: flowerbeds; tennis and other lawns; shrubberies; orchards; a well-stocked walled kitchen garden; tool houses; and forcing pits. The OS 25" map (c. 1886) shows the land between the house and road as parkland. A further sale catalogue of 1927 describes the gardens as having lawns, tennis court, flower beds and borders, specimen trees, a detached conservatory, and a kitchen garden with greenhouse and vinery.
