Richmond Park was originally created as a deer park by Charles I. The earliest passes to it appear to date to the 1720s; a second group, bearing the baronial coronet of Sir Robert Walpole (1676-1745), the ranger of the Park, probably date to the 1730s or 1740s. A subsequent group must represent the period 1751-8, when severe restrictions on access were imposed by George II's daughter, Princess Amelia, who succeeded Walpole as ranger. Full right of public access was restored with the accession of George III, who used Richmond Lodge as his summer residence
