- History
Until it was demolished in 1817, Drayton Park was the major house in the village. There are few records of the house until 1655 when it was occupied by John Sedgewick. Between 1713-1730 the house was probably the residence of the Dukes of Bedford and kept in good order. In 1795 the property was sold to the Rector of Dry Drayton who died in 1808. His son did not live there and the house was later demolished.
