History of Eastington Park

Eastington Park was built in 1815 by a local clothier and mill owner called Henry Hicks. Mr Hicks purchased the estate in 1806 from the Stephens Family after the original building, Eastington Manor, was demolished in 1778.

There were four notable families who lived in Eastington Park, all of whom achieved their wealthy lifestyles through industry and commerce, as opposed to via the privilege and patronage that tended to accompany those with their roots in the landed gentry.

There were four notable families who lived in Eastington Park and they all achieved their wealthy lifestyles through industry and commerce, as opposed to via the privilege and patronage that tended to accompany those with their roots in the landed gentry.

All the families who lived in Eastington Park were heavily involved in the village – whether through hosting events, financing the building of the new village hall, or the construction of woollen cloth mills to provide jobs for several generations of the local population.

Families that lived here were often very well connected in high society, and some had very esteemed friends. The de Lisle Bush family were close with the world-famous England cricket captain, WG Grace, who came to Eastington Park on many occasions. Henry Hicks himself was firm friends with Doctor Edward Jenner, who pioneered the world’s first vaccine – it has been said that he ‘saved more lives than the work of any other human’.

Very sadly, many of the families that lived here lost family members during the Boer War, The Great War and The Second World War. Notably the de Lisle Bush family, whose two sons were killed during The Great War.

After the end of The Second World War, the family could no longer continue the upkeep of their home (particularly after the loss of two of their sons). They sold Eastington Park to Gloucestershire County Council in 1946, who in turn converted it into a nursing home, which it continued to be so for almost 70 years.

In early 2013, the current owner, Chris, took on Eastington Park and started to build it up into the wedding venue it is today. Chris and the team have now hosted over 1,000 weddings on this historic estate. After a decade of hosting weddings, Eastington Park has won a multitude of awards, but our whole team continue to strive to find ways to improve the venue for the enjoyment of our couples and their guests.

 

 

Excitingly, in late 2022, Eastington Park purchased the old Gatehouse/Lodge on our tree-lined driveway, after many years of trying to bring the building back into the original estate. This is now available to our couples for the night before their wedding, and sleeps up to 10 people. The Lodge is the perfect setting for a relaxing evening and a great night’s sleep before waking up in situ on the morning of the wedding, ready for the day of celebrations ahead!
