In 1870-72, John Marius Wilson's Imperial Gazetteer of England and Wales described Kempton Park like this:
KEMPTON PARK, a seat in Sunbury parish, Middlesex; near the river Thames, 4 miles W of Kingston-on-Thames. It was formerly called Cold Kennington; was forfeited, in the time of Henry I., by the Earl of Cornwall, to the Crown; was a royal seat till 1331; passed to the Killigrews, the Musgraves, and others; and belongs now to Thomas Barnett, Esq.
Kempton Park is now part of SPELTHORNE District. Click here for graphs and data of how SPELTHORNE has changed over two centuries. For statistics about Kempton Park itself, go to Statistics.
