Forty Hall and Gardens Located in Enfield London
The current Forty Hall, located in the nort east of London, stands in the grounds that once belonged to Elsyng Thomas and housed a lost Tudor palace. Elsyng Thomas was a Citizen and Mercer of London. His estate was first bought by Sir Thomas Lovell, Speaker of the House of Commons in the reign of Henry VII. King Henry VIII bought the estate, also known as Little Park, circa 1539, and used it as a base for hunting in the royal parkland. The estate was later sold by King Charles I and then fell into disrepair. Sir Nicholas Rainton bought the Elsyng Estate, circa 1624. He was a wealthy haberdasher and later became Lord Mayor of London. He built the current Forty Hall at the top of the hill, between 1629 and 1636.
