In an edition of The Field, The County Gentleman’s Newspaper, the mansion and grounds known as Charlton Park are advertised to let for £250 per annum. As well as “stabling for twelve horses and four packs of fox hounds within easy reach”, a key selling point is that the front rooms overlook the magnificently timbered park, which is the East Glos cricket ground, with a private entrance to the club for the mansion’s residents.

A county cricket team plays for the first time at East Glos as the Gentlemen of Gloucestershire.
