In 1870-72, John Marius Wilson's Imperial Gazetteer of England and Wales described Southwell Park like this:
SOUTHWELL-PARK, a quondam extra-parochial tract in Hargrave parish, Suffolk; 6½ miles WSW of Bury-St. Edmunds.
The location is that of Great Southwood Park Farm, as marked on the OS New Popular map. The Suffolk Record Office in Bury St. Edmunds have found the name "Southwell Park" for us on the first edition of the OS 25 inch map, covering the area of Great Southwood Park Farm, so "Southwell" and "Southwood" are presumably equivalent here.
