BACKGROUND INFORMATION: Hackwood Park is a heritage list-recognized, grade I listed, early 18th century ornamental woodland and formal lawn garden including a one-category-lower listed house — at Grade II. It is within the boundaries of Winslade, an overwhelmingly rural parish immediately south of Basingstoke in Hampshire. The estate was acquired by William Paulet, 1st Marquess of Winchester in the sixteenth century. The bulk of the structure of the house currently standing was built from 1683 to 1687 for a son of the fifth Marquess, Charles Paulet, created Duke of Bolton. Having long been occupied by tenants - including Lord Curzon from 1906 until his death in 1925 - the estate was sold in 1936 to William Berry, 1st Viscount Camrose. During World War II it served as a hospital for the Royal Canadian Army. When Lord Camrose died in 1954 the property was inherited by his son, Seymour Berry, 2nd Viscount Camrose, who remained its owner until his death in 1995.
