Cassiobury Park is the principal public park in Watford, Hertfordshire, in England. It was created in 1909 from the purchase by Watford Borough Council of part of the estate of the Earls of Essex around Cassiobury House which was subsequently demolished in 1927. It comprises over 190 acres and extends from the A412 Rickmansworth Road in the east to the Grand Union Canal in the west, and lies to the south of the Watford suburb of Cassiobury, which was also created from the estate. The western part is a 25.1 hectare Local Nature Reserve managed by the Herts and Middlesex Wildlife Trust. The park hosts the free, weekly timed parkrun 5km event every Saturday morning at 9am, starting at the Rickmansworth Road entrance to the park.
John Postle Heseltine was a painter and art collector who became a trustee of the National Gallery, London. He donated the paintings A Garden Scene with Waterfowl by Anthonie van Borssum, Portrait of a Grand Vizir by Jean-Etienne Liotard, A Cowherd passing a Horse and Cart in a Stream by Jan Siberechts, and Portrait of a Man, probably Johann Feige by Lucas Cranach the Elder. His brother was Rev. Ernest Heseltine. His daughter Clarissa Mary Heseltine married at St Paul’s Church, Knightsbridge on 8 October 1902 Charles W. Sofer Whitburn, son of Charles Joseph Sofer Whitburn. She was well known as a racehorse breeder, and at one point live at Amport House, near Andover, Hampshire.
