LISCOMBE PARK, a seat in Soulbury parish, Bucks; 3 miles W by N of Leighton-Buzzard. It has belonged to the Lovett family for nearly 600 years; and is at present the residence of W. Schoolcroft Burton, Esq. The house is a quadrangular castellated edifice of the Tudor period, with a frontage of 166 feet; has been much spoilt by whitewash; includes, on one side, a chapel with some windows of the 14th century; and contains portraits of Charles Brandon Duke of Suffolk, the first Earl of Bedford, the Earl of Strafford, Sir Edmund Verny, Archbishop Sancroft, and other distinguished persons. The court-yard has a fine old weeping yew; the kitchen gardens are ancient and large; and the park abounds in noble oaks, and comprises about 200 acres.
