Cranford House was the seat of the Berkeleys up until the end of the 19th century. The early Georgian mansion was demolished in 1945 at the end of the Second World War which was about the time that the park came into public ownership. The 18th century stable and barn block survive, as do the cellars of the old house, and the old parish church of Cranford. St Dunstan's Church dates from the 15th and 17th centuries and is approached through a lych gate by the stable block. There is also a ha-ha, a large walled garden, the site of an ice house, and some ancient woodland. This woodland is along the western edge of the park. A feeder stream of the River Crane is longside to the right and Cranford Lane is a short distance ahead..
