Historical Context

About

Enfield Old Park was an ancient deer park located in Enfield. It is mentioned in the Domesday Book. The Domesday Book mentions only one other Park in Middlesex, at Ruislip, and according to Historic England both are therefore considered to be "rare and important historical sites". Today part of Old Park is built over as part of the suburb of Grange Park, but large areas also remain open and undeveloped.
