From the House of Lords in 1831: A Message was brought from the House of Commons, by Mr. Phillpott and others; With a Bill, intituled, "An Act for more effectually amending and widening the Road from a Place near the Village of Milford, in the County of Surrey, through Haslemere to the Forty-third Mile Stone at Carpenter's Heath, and from thence to a Bridge near the Blue Bell Inn, over Houndley's Water, at the Boundary of the said County of Surrey;" to which they desire the Concurrence of this House.

The said Four Bills were, severally, read the First Time.

In 1870, Lea Park was the home of JP J. W. Stone. It was a quiet rural retreat with a substantial yet simple residence. By 1890, a man named Whitaker Wright had arrived on the scene and purchased Lea Park and Witley Park, which was a farm to the south of Lea Park owned by the Earl of Derby. Wright renamed the whole estate Witley Park and commenced the building of a substantial mansion. One of six millionaires who were described in a Financial Times article 'Men of Millions' in 1897, of which later two were imprisoned, one murdered and one committed suicide, Wright was a phenomenon in his time. When his companies, West Australian Exploration, The London Globe including the Bakerloo & City Lines and the Standard Exploration Company all started to fail, their collapse caused tremors through the international mining industry, which changed it forever. Questions were asked in the House of Commons and having hidden himself in the icehouse for seven days, he fled to America. However, he was an early extradition victim and was found guilty at the Royal Courts of Justice. Prior to sentencing, whilst in the anteroom of the court, he asked for a cigar and a glass of whisky. Suddenly he collapsed to the floor having taken a capsule of potassium cyanide, supposedly handed to him by a local Bobby. After his death, the property, then some 9000 acres and extending from Thursley to the Devils Punch Bowl was broken up and sold off. The Devils Punch Bowl itself being acquired by the National Trust.

During World War II the property was requisitioned by the Allied Naval Command and then whilst owned by a Mr. Hugget the main house was destroyed by fire on October 11th, 1953.
