Forty Hall

Forty Hall & Estate is Enfield 's 'Jewel in the Crown' and one of England 's finest historic houses.

The Hall was built by former Lord Mayor of London , Sir Nicholas Rainton in 1632. Stood at the edge of London this historic house and estate is important to understanding the growth of the Capital City and of the life and times of the merchant classes.

As part of Enfield Council's plans to restore this unique heritage site, Forty Hall is now closed to the public, reopening in Spring 2012, following a major refurbishment, funded by the Heritage Lottery Fund and Enfield Council. Tours , events, education and family activities will continue at Forty Hall until this date. After this date Forty Hall's newly enhanced borough-wide programme will continue throughout the closure at various locations across Enfield , bringing you a unique mix of Art, Heritage and Ecology.
