Archaeological Relics at Enfield, 1858. Creator: Unknown
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

EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, titled "Archaeological Relics at Enfield, 1858," offers a glimpse into the rich history of Enfield, England. The image showcases various archaeological finds unearthed during repairs to the Old Church in 1858. The arches, possibly part of an older church built around 1136, predate the present church constructed around 1400. The photograph also includes Raleigh's House, a residence believed to have once belonged to Sir Walter Raleigh, although no concrete evidence supports this claim. Another notable landmark is Uvedale's Cedar, a cedar tree planted by Dr. Uvedale in the 18th century. Additionally, the Market Cross, erected in 1826, is depicted in the photograph. The inhabitants of Enfield hold a unique privilege, the right to enter all markets in England and use them free of charge, granted in consideration of their contributions to supplying food to London during the plague. The Chantry School, originally a chantry attached to the church, has since become a foundation school. The Town House, which also serves as a railway station, was once believed to have been the residence of the Earl of Essex, Queen Elizabeth's favorite, but it was more likely a house built for her retainers. A room in the Palace, which was used as a nursery for Henry VIII's children and later as Queen Elizabeth's palace, is also featured in the photograph. This image from 1858, published in the "Illustrated London News," offers a fascinating glimpse into Enfield's past, showcasing its historical significance and architectural beauty.
