Recent Research on Enfield Palace
Wednesday 15 May at 8pm
at Jubilee Hall, 2 Parsonage Lane, Enfield EN2 0AJ
This talk will be an overview of the work being done to produce as detailed an account of the history of the Manor, Palace and School demolished in 1928 and replaced by Pearsons as the limited sources permit and will concentrate on its last 500 years. This covers its refurbishment for the Princess Elizabeth, its occupation by the botanist Robert Uvedale, the cedar and its around 150 years use as a school before becoming a post office and a political club. School pupils ranged from Theophilus Hastings, 8th Earl of Huntingdon and the engineer Frederick Bramwell to a member of the Bazalgette family and an early aviator.
Ian Jones is an EHHS member and Chairman of Enfield Archaeological Society
Meeting free to members. Visitors £2 donation. Doors open 7.30pm for refreshments
