In the Middle Ages the land was part of the manor of Tyburn, acquired by Barking Abbey.
The 1530s Dissolution of the Monasteries meant Henry VIII appropriated it, under that statutory forfeiture with minor compensation scheme.
It has been state property since.
It was set aside as a hunting and forestry park, Marylebone Park, from that Dissolution until 1649 after which it was let as small-holdings for hay and dairy produce.
