The history of Rye House Gatehouse dates back to 1443 and has been home to royalty, ghosts and an assassination attempt! Now the Gatehouse is a Grade I listed building featuring high-quality diaper brickwork and a ‘barley sugar twist’ chimney as well as a string of underground chambers or dungeons. The Rye House: An Investigative History With nearly 600 years of history, involving a plot, intrigue and paranormal activity, it’s surprising that no one has ever written the definitive history of the Rye House in Hertfordshire. The Rye House – An Investigative History aims to do just that. Through meticulous research, Phil Holland has written this fascinating account, taking the reader from the house’s 15th origins, through to Tudor times when Catherine Parr spent part of her childhood there; to the Rye House Plot to assassinate King Charles II and the Duke of York in 1683; to the widely reported paranormal activity and apparitions; and finally to the present day. The Gatehouse is all that remains of the 15th century brick-built fortified manor house. It’s a Grade I listed building and a Scheduled Ancient Monument and as such is protected by law. The moated enclosure is considered to be one of the finest examples of the period in Hertfordshire. It’s hoped that this book will enthuse people about the Gatehouse and the history of the Rye House, and that they in turn will come to treasure the building and recognise its importance as a piece of our country’s history BUY YOUR COPY TODAY available from Amazon in paperback About the Author With a passion for both natural history and history, Phil Holland has worked as a hedgerow/habitat management contractor for 25 years and with the Lee Valley Regional Park ranger team on a part-time basis for the past 10 years. He first became involved with the Rye House Gatehouse in 2013 and from this beginning his interest in the building s history has developed. His diligent research into the history of the Rye House is testimony to his enthusiasm for the building's and his love of history.

We apologise for the inconvenience caused. Old Mill and Meadow The Mill was first mentioned in the Doomsday Book, 1086. The Knights of St John of Jerusalem were the first recorded owners of the mill. Under the reformation of Henry VIII in 1544, ownership was taken away from the monasteries and granted to a local miller, John Cook. The mill’s function and ownership changed repeatedly over the years. The role of the mill up until 1892 was to grind corn into flour. Then in 1919 the restoration of the water turbine allowed the owner to produce auxiliary power. By the 1940’s the mill was used as factory storage space but on 1 October 1949 the mill was destroyed by a fire. Now all that remains of the mill is the 16th century brickwork floor, and the window frames of a 19th century two-storey miller's house that was restored in 1977 by Lee Valley Regional Park Authority. Silvermeade Silvermeade, is one of only four relict flood meadows remaining in Lee Valley Regional Park, the others being Rye Meads, Cornmill Meadows and Walthamstow Marshes. It's one of the few pieces of Lammas and left in the park (Lammas rights entitled commoners to pasture following the harvest between Lammas Day in August and Lady Day in March). The site has historically been managed by grazing. Silvermeade Silvermeade is a stronghold for the highly endangered Water Vole and is one of the best places in the region for viewing this charismatic mammal. It’s also an excellent site for dragonflies. Its wet meadows are intersected by a network of richly vegetated ditches, pools and reedbeds. Spring Water Vole and their field signs can be seen throughout the year but spring is a particularly good time to look for them as they’re actively reasserting their territories. Look out for piles of neatly cut grass stems, their droppings or the tracks they create as they move along the bank. You can’t miss the delicate pink-white of Cuckooflower, so called as it flowers around the same time as the first Cuckoo is heard. The striking pink flowers of Ragged Robin can also be seen amongst the grasses and sedge. Both plants thrive in the damp meadows found here. Summer The ditches are home to dragonflies of which the Hairy Dragonfly is one of the earliest to emerge. Look along the ditches to see them hunting for food from May onwards. The Banded Demoiselle is an impressive damselfly; the male has conspicuous dark banding on its wings. The long grass adjacent to the water is a good place to see Grass Snake which are competent swimmers and regularly take to the water to hunt for prey. Reed Bunting, Sedge and Reed Warbler all nest on site. Look out for the darting flight of the Large Skipper butterfly on the wing from early June. Rusheymead The scrub and woodland of Rusheymead is excellent for flocks of small birds. Bullfinch can be seen all year and in summer it’s a good spot for warblers. Sparrowhawk can often be glimpsed hunting amongst the trees. The patches of grassland offer good feeding areas for the striking Green Woodpecker, which feed on ants and can be found throughout the year.

Gunpowder Park and Sewardstone Marsh are an ideal place for walkers and cyclists, with a comprehensive network of surfaced paths accessible in all weathers. There is also a permissive bridleway for summer use circling the arable farm fields that border the parks. By the main entrance, the large area of grassland in front of the building is maintained for games and picnicking. Adjacent to this area, lies Black Ditch which provides an invaluable habitat for Reed Warbler in the summer months and waterfowl all year round. This stretch of water then feeds into the River Lea Flood Relief Channel. Much of the park is grassland and the different meadows are cut on rotation. They display a wide variety of colours throughout the year and are dissected by lines of Aspen and Birch trees. In the middle of the park is Osier Marsh, where a boardwalk runs through a wet woodland abundant with ferns, lichens and willow trees. Two bird hides in this area look out over two seasonal pools. Osier is a type of willow which with other willow species, thrive in this wet environment. The Greenwich Meridian Line runs through the land, where there is a viewpoint on a hill overlooking the park and parts of Epping Forest. In the far southwest corner of the park are Knights Pits and Sewardstone Marsh, where grass paths wind through old gravel pits and wet woodland. A former fishing lake is here as well, which has been left undisturbed for wildlife to flourish. Rammey Marsh Rammey Marsh was once part of an extensive floodplain which stretched down to the River Thames. The marsh was used as pasture for summer grazing since Anglo-Saxon times. During the mid-20th century much of the marsh was given over to gravel extraction. The resulting flooded gravel pits were used for landfill which made the area higher. On completion of the A1055 road in the late 20th century, the marsh was bisected from north to south. The site was also used as landfill when the adjacent M25 was constructed in the early 1980’s. Today the site is a managed as a nature reserve and is popular with locals. Spring Skylark can be seen hovering over the farm fields, and Reed Warbler can be heard singing in reeds amongst the ponds and lakes of the park. An abundance of Cowslip and Oxeye Daisy populate the meadow margins. Summer The wildflower meadows are in bloom and rich in colour. Common Knapweed, buttercup and Rosebay Willowherb are common around site. Pyramidal and Bee Orchids can be found on the on the slopes of the mounded areas in the middle of the park. Bats and occasionally Barn Owl can be seen flying around at dusk. Grass Snake can be seen near or in the ditches, they're excellent swimmers. Autumn Goldfinches often feed on the unusually large Teasel plants that are rarely seen elsewhere in the country. Kestrels hover, and Buzzards soar over the recently cut meadows, searching for prey. Winter Large flocks of Teal and other waterfowl like Gadwall gather on the lakes and pools in the park. Small mammals such as Field Voles can sometimes be found scurrying through the grassland areas. Muntjac Deer can be seen all around the park, particularly in the wet woodland area.

Originally they would have been part of the natural floodplain of the River Lee. In the 1920s there were tennis courts and an open air lido on the marshes, fed by water from Pymmes Brook for a short spell. Later the site was used as a place to deposit building waste from bombed-out parts of London, which in some parts have raised the levels by two metres. Now it's one of the largest open spaces in Haringey, and a very well-loved open space for dog walkers, nature lovers and people who simply want to unwind in a safe space. Tottenham Marshes straddles the border between the London Boroughs of Haringey and Waltham Forest. The marshes are situated just six miles from Central London and has three main parts Wild Marsh West, Clendish Marsh and Wild Marsh East. The sites are managed to encourage easy and welcoming access, with the majority of users walking, jogging and cycling and enjoying this open space close to Tottenham. Tottenham Marshes has a wonderful community of wildlife enthusiasts and bird watchers. Friends of Tottenham Marshes who do a bird count every month, who then share they’re wonderful sightings for everyone to enjoy and also form part of our recording. You can send in your sighting and join our gallery. Spring You will see many migrating birds coming to the valley, the meadows will be full of colour, from the wildflowers and in some places you can observe Bee Orchid too. On Wild Marsh West in the spring all the Cherry Plums are flowering and it’s a real spectacle when they are out. There are lots of butterflies that are present including Brimstone and Comma Butterfly. On Clendish Marsh, Kestrel can be observed hovering over the meadows in early spring and throughout the summer. The abundance of voles and mice are contributing to their diet. Summer When the meadows have finished flowering you will get all the grasses flowering and we have a good population of Common Toadflax on Wild Marsh West, which will turn the meadows yellow. They are particularly good for the Toadflax Brocade Moth. In the summer the Blackberries will ripen, and also the Cherry Plums, and they make good eating for the wildlife around. There are a few wooded sections that the walkers are particularly fond of during the summer, as they provide a shady walk Autumn Some of the meadows are cut and you will get some really nice autumn colour on the poplars and willows on site. The Rowan and Hawthorn will berry up and will be food for the many birds on the marshes in the winter. Winter In winter Stonechat are usually present and Linnet numbers increase, they can be seen feeding on seed heads of Teasel, dock and thistle. There are always a few winter visitors in the valley, such as Britain's smallest duck, Teal, you can observe if you are lucky, along the watercourse that intersect the marshes Take a read of our blog Love autumn Autumn has arrived after a very dry summer, and we're looking forward to making the most of the season in the Lee Valley.
