Archaeological Relics at Enfield, 1858. Remains of the Old Church, these arches were discovered in picking off the plaister...during repairs...They were possibly, with the tower, a portion of an older church, probably of 1136, being evidently previous to the present church which was built about 1400. Raleigh's House, the folk-lore of the neighbourhood describes this as the residence of Sir Walter Raleigh, but we are not aware of any proof of its correctness. Uvedale's Cedar, the cedar-tree planted by Dr. Uvedale...The Market Cross, possibly a restoration of some former cross, was erected in 1826...The inhabitants of Enfield, in consideration of supplying food to London during the plague, have the right of entering all markets in England and using them free of all dues. The Chantry School, the grammar school was originally a chantry attached to the church but has since become a foundation-school...The Town House, as well as the building now used as a railway station, has been considered the house in which the Earl of Essex, the favourite of Queen Elizabeth, resided, but was most probably a house built for the retainers of the Queen...Room in the Palace...used as a nursery for the children of Henry VIII., and...as the palace of Queen Elizabeth'. From "Illustrated London News", 1858.
