BEAUDESERT PARK, a seat of the Marquis of Anglesey in Cannock chase, Stafford; 4 miles NW of Lichfield. The Marquis takes from it the title of Baron. The mansion is a stately old Tudor edifice; and the park is large and noble. Castle-Hill camp, within the grounds, was the site of an ancient royal hunting-seat; and commands a very extensive view.
