However, it did not become a public park until 1938 when it was acquired by Chichester Corporation from the Henty family, prior to which its history is curious, complex and hitherto unexplored.
Oaklands Park as we know it was the 19th century creation of one man, James Bennett Freeland, a wealthy lawyer who started acquiring the necessary closes of land in 1819 to create his own private park and finally completed it in 1850. This talk tells for the first time how Freeland went about his creation and what happened to it after his death in 1852 as it morphed into what it is today. The talk will be given by local historian and author Alan Green.
