A City merchant's house of 1629 on a hill above the Lea, free, with the site of a Tudor palace in its park and a vineyard on the slope.
Free
Sir Nicholas Rainton, a haberdasher who was Lord Mayor of London in 1632 and went to the Tower in 1640 for refusing to help Charles I raise a loan, built it between 1629 and 1632: a square brick house that looks Georgian outside, its windows changed, and Jacobean inside, with its plaster ceilings and carved screen. His great-nephew bought Elsyng Palace next door, the Tudor house where Henry VIII's children were brought up and where Edward VI heard that he was king, and pulled it down for the estate; its foundations lie under the lawn. Enfield's museum is in the house, with its ceramics and local history, and the park is 273 acres of lake, medieval fishponds, walled garden and the loop of the old New River, with a community vineyard, London's first working one for centuries, on the hill below.
