  • Josiah Child and the Wanstead Estate by Hannah Armstrong
    The East India Company at Home, 1757-1857 – UCL History Josiah Child and the Wanstead estate By Hannah Armstrong Please note that this case study was first published on blogs.ucl.ac.uk/eicah in April 2014. For citation advice, visit: http://blogs.uc.ac.uk/eicah/usingthewebsite. In 1665, diarist Samuel Pepys (1633-1703) recorded his visit to politician Sir Robert Brooke’s residence at Wanstead describing it as ‘a fine seat, but an old fashioned house and being not full of people, looks desolately’.1 Brooke (c.1637-69) had retired to France and the manor purchased from his father-in-law Sir Henry Mildmay (1594–1664/5), master of the King’s Jewel House and one of the judges at the trial of Charles I, had become somewhat neglected. It is of little surprise that Pepys described Wanstead as old fashioned as neither Mildmay nor Brooke appear to have carried out any architectural improvements. It is therefore likely that when Josiah Child (1635-1699) purchased the Wanstead estate in 1673, it appeared much as it did when Sir Robert Dudley, Earl of Leicester (1532/3–1588) resided there from 1578 until his death in 1588. Child had rented the property since 1667, but his acquisition in 1673 is an indication of the upwardly rising social and financial status of those who acquired their fortunes from a mercantile career. Upon his visit in 1683, diarist John Evelyn (1620-1706) described Wanstead as ‘a cursed barren spot, where commonly these over growne men seat themselves’.2 Such a scathing description seems ill justified if one considers the rich history of the site prior to Child’s acquisition.

  • English Heritage
    ENGLISH HERITAGE STRATEGIC ASSESSMENT AND CONSERVATION MEASURES FOR WANSTEAD PARK LONDON BOROUGH OF REDBRIDGE NATIONAL HERITAGE PROTECTION PLAN PROJECT NO: 6612 MAY 2013 Executive Summary Wanstead Park is a Grade II* Listed landscape on the English Heritage (EH) Register of Parks and Gardens of Special Historic Interest (other protective designations also apply). It includes the site of the once palatial Wanstead House and the remains of designed formal gardens, parkland and water features dating from the late 17 th century to early 19 th century (on the site of a 16 th century deer park and potentially designed Tudor gardens), plus remains relating to prehistoric and Roman activity. The landscape has evolved through several significant periods of investment and was once described by Repton as ‘one of the most magnificent places in this country’. Wanstead House was demolished in 1822 and, as a result, many of the garden features were abandoned at that time. The history of Wanstead Park is very well documented and the knowledge data-set is well supported by high quality archaeological fieldwork and scholarly historical research; the majority of which has been carried out by committed and informed local voluntary organisations and individuals, supported by the principal stakeholders. The Park is in mixed ownership with the majority being in the care of the City of London since 1878, and Wanstead Sports Ground Ltd. also maintaining a large area of the historic Park since the foundation of the Golf Club in 1893. English Heritage added Wanstead Park to their ‘Heritage at Risk’ register in 2009, in response to concerns that the framework of designed vistas and lakes were losing value.

  • Proposed Boundary Changes and Implications for Wanstead and Snaresbrook Wards
    Boundary Commission Review – Wanstead Ward Proposed Boundary Changes and implications for Wanstead and Snaresbrook Wards. The review aims to deliver electoral equality for voters in council elections so that each councillor represents roughly the same number of voters. It also aims to ensure that council wards reflect, as far as possible, the interests and identities of communities. Electoral equality and reasons for the boundaries as drafted The Boundary Commission Review of Redbridge is aiming to make the existing wards and their representation by Councillors more similar in terms of size without splitting local communities and following logical boundaries such as main roads, estates and natural features such as rivers and parks. The optimum number of electors per councillor given the numbers for 2021 is around 3,600. The optimum variance from this figure is +/- 5%. At present in 2016 Wanstead has 8562 electors and is projected to have 9,528 in 2021 so there is a shortfall of roughly 1257 in 2021. A new Wanstead Ward is proposed, taking in the current Wanstead Ward and major part of the Wanstead area currently in Snaresbrook Ward. It is proposed that it has 3 councillors on the basis of electoral numbers. Having 3 councillors allows for wider representation of councillors with different interests and expertise and enables a majority view to be taken on differences of opinion Year 2016 2021 Number of councillors: 63 63 Overall electorate: 190,967 226,478 Average electorate per cllr: 3,031 3,595 Wanstead Electors 8,562 9,528 Wanstead Optimum Aim 9,094 10,785 Wanstead Shortfall at present 532 1,257 Snaresbrook Electors 8,619 9,773 Snaresbrook Optimum Aim 9,094 10,785 Snaresbrook Shortfall at present 475 1,011 Many of the wards in Redbridge vary by more than 5% as can be seen below.
