Background
History
A royal licence to create a deer park at Kyre was granted in 1275. It is thought that its area was 500 acre, this being reduced to 180 acre in the late 18th century. In the 1930s it passed to Birmingham Council, and in 1965 to the Spastics Society. It became privately owned again in 1993.
