Clayhall Park is on former land of the Manor of Clay Hall, which was broken up in 1927. First mentioned in 1203 when it was owned by Barking Abbey, it probably remained in ownership of the de la Claie or Clay family until 1313 and then passed through various owners. The manor house and grounds were first called Clayhall in 1410.The manor house was once a substantial building as it was the residence of rich and titled owners. It was demolished in the mid-18th century and replaced by a farmhouse and buildings. Clayhall Park opened to the public in 1934 and the farmhouse, outbuildings and chapel were demolished in 1935.
