Gamekeeping has a history going back to the Anglo Saxon times, this was the period when the tribal kings employed men to protect their wild food supplies. Gamekeepers were known in old Norman french as Parquers or Parchiers meaning, park keeper or ranger giving us the modern surname Parker, Parkman, Parkerhouse, Parkhouse, Parkhill, Parkhurst, Parkman, Paxman and Duparc.
There are also many off shoots from this occupation, take those that looked after the rabbit warrens. RABBITS, then known as conies ( surnames ) Warner, Warriner, Coney, Coneyman and Connier.
Boy beaters flushing out seasonal game Forestry, Woodcraft and the rearing of pheasants, not forgetting the supplies of Salmon and fresh water fish.
