UP-PARK, (Sussex) in the p. of Harting, bet. that and the Mardens, is so called from its situation on an eminence in a park bel. to the Earl of Tankerville, to whose ancestor the manor and seat came by marriage. Sir Edw. Ford, that most ingenious merchant, who, encouraged by Oliver Cromwell, raised the Thames water into all the highest streets in the city, 93 feet high, in 4 eight inch pipes, with an engine of his own invention, and who built the great water-engine near Somerset-House, was a native of this place, and his ancestors were Lds. of the manor.
