During the medieval period, Hazlegrove was held by the Crown as part of an estate which included a deer park at Queen Camel. There is evidence that a second park existed during the medieval period at Hazlegrove; the possible park pale lies c 200m north of Hazlegrove House. A park was certainly in existence by 1633 when Gerard records both parks in the manor of Queen Camel; that at Hazlegrove being distinguished by a grove of oaks of remarkable girth (Bond, 1998).
The house, formal gardens and part of the park was leased in 1947 to King's Bruton Junior School, and was purchased by the school in 1952. Today (2013), the site remains in divided ownership, with the house, gardens and part of the park remaining in institutional use, and the remainder of the park being in divided private ownership.
