Mountsfield Park takes its name from Mountsfield House, which in the mid 1840s became the home of Henry Stainton, an eminent entomologist. Mountsfield House was demolished in 1905, but remnants of the gardens still exist. The park was opened to the public in 1905. Beyond the flower bed in this photograph can be seen the bandstand and the new children's playground.
