In 1539, Enfield Town was a small countryside village. But about a mile north, in what is now the Forty Hall Estate, stood a large brick building surrounded by a moat, gardens and lakes - known as Elsyng Palace.
Although you can’t see the palace today, the Enfield Archaeological Society have been carrying out excavations on site since the 1960s and are rediscovering more of the site every year.
This co-curated exhibition between Museum of Enfield and Enfield Archaeological Society (EAS) explores the history of the Palace, its residents and staff, and gives a behind the scenes look at the archaeology of the site.
