The Estate 'Stanestede' dates from the Norman Conquest, when a hunting lodge used by the Fitzalans, later Earls of Arundel, was recorded in the Doomsday Book.
The House and the Estate evolved over the centuries but it was not until 1684, when the new Stansted House was built to replace the old building (part of which is now the Chapel) after it was attacked in the Civil War, that the Estate took some prominence.
The history of the Estate is recorded in the Guide Book and in Lord Bessborough's book 'Enchanted Forest'.
The Estate today is run by the Stansted Park Foundation, a Charitable Trust set up to preserve it for future generations. The Trustees' approach has been to protect the spirit of the place whilst making all parts contribute to the heavy costs of running and maintaining such an Estate for the public benefit. In addition to a large stock of residential housing, the Foundation offers exclusive office space in Stansted House and a wide range of activities for the visitor in and around the Walled Gardens and House.
The Stansted Park Garden Centre, The Paviion Tea Room, The Stansted Maze, the Stansted Park Light Railway, the Walled Gardens and the Arboretum are available to the visitor throughout the year. Stansted House itself and its Servants Quarters is open through the summer months (see opening times)
