The site was originally enclosed as a deer park in the early 17th century by Sir John Horner (died 1659). In 1724 Thomas Strangways Horner abandoned Mells Manor House and commissioned Nathaniel Ireson to build Park House, a new mansion in the park. His nephew, Thomas Horner embarked on a major programme of enlargement and improvement, creating the structure of the existing park after 1758.
