RICHARD ALLEN SCOTT - Through the Years

RICHARD ALLEN SCOTT
THROUGH THE YEARS
Enfield Market
In 1303, Edward I granted a
charter to Humphrey de Bohun,
and his wife to hold a weekly
market in Enfield each Monday,
and James I granted another in
1617, to a charitable trust, for a
Saturday market. The market is
still in existence.
The parish church, on the north
side of the marketplace, is
dedicated to St Andrew. There is
some masonry surviving from the
thirteenth century, but the nave,
north aisle, choir and tower are
late fourteenth century, built of
random rubble and flint. The clerestory dates from the early sixteenth century, and the south
aisle was rebuilt in brick in 1824. Adjacent to the church is the old school building of the Tudor
period, Enfield Grammar School, which expanded over the years, becoming a large
comprehensive school from the late 1960s.
