Background
History
The park takes its name from the Calthorpe family, whose Frederick Gough, 4th Baron Calthorpe provided the land for its creation in 1857, from the Calthorpe Estate. The freehold was signed over by his son, Augustus Gough-Calthorpe, 6th Baron Calthorpe, in 1894. The opening ceremony, which featured a triumphal arch, was recorded in a painting by Samuel Lines Snr. The event was followed by a dinner for the dignitaries and 250 guests at Bee's Royal Hotel, as well as a free concert "for artisans" at the Town Hall, a free ball at a music hall in Coleshill Street and a free meal for 700 soldiers and pensioners at Bingley Hall. These events were funded by John Ratcliffe.
Description
A lodge-house sits at the north-western corner of the park. A bandstand formerly stood near to it. An 1855 statue of Robert Peel by Peter Hollins, which formerly stood in the park, is now outside the nearby Tally Ho! police training centre, although the original plinth is still in the park.
