One of the oldest brick houses in England, with a Tudor tower in its garden and Haringey's museum inside, free: Rowland Hill ran his school here before he invented the penny post.
Free
The Lordship House was built in the early sixteenth century for Sir William Compton, Henry VIII's friend, and the King met his sister Margaret, Queen of Scots, here in 1516; the round brick tower beside it, twenty-one feet high with walls a yard thick, is older than the house and nobody knows what it was for. The Hares, Barons Coleraine, gave it its present front in the 1680s and 1700s and, the story goes, the ghost of a Lady Coleraine who fell from the balcony. From 1827 the Hill family ran a school here that let the boys govern themselves, and one of the brothers, Rowland, went on to invent the Penny Post in 1840, which is why the museum has a room of postal history beside the story of Tottenham and Haringey. The park around it has been public since 1892, the borough's oldest.
