WANSTEAD

This article appears in Volume V28, Page 304 of the Encyclopedia Britannica.

Encyclopedia Britannica - Main :: VIR-WAT
WANSTEAD , an urban
district
  in the Romford parliamentary division of Essex, England, forming a residential suburb of London, on a branch of the Great Eastern railway, 8 m. N.E. of Liverpool Street station. Pop. (1901) 9179. Wanstead Park, 184 acres in extent, was opened in 1882. Northward extend the broken fragments of Epping Forest. Wanstead Flats, adjoining the Park, form another open ground. At Lake
House
  Thomas Hood wrote the novel Tylney
Hall
 . At Snaresbrook in the parish of Wanstead are the Infant Orphan Asylum, founded in 1827, and the Royal Merchant Seamen's Orphan Asylum, established in London in 1817 and refounded here in 1861. In Snaresbrook is Eagle Pond or Lake, 1o4 acres in extent.
Wanstead is mentioned in Domesday, and the name is considered by some to be derived from Woden's
stead
  or place, indicating a spot dedicated to the
worship
  of Woden. It be-longed before the time of Edward the Confessor to the monks of St Peter's, Westminster, and afterwards to the bishop of London, of whom it was held at the time of the Domesday Survey by Ralph Fitz Brien. In the reign of Henry VIII. it came into the possession of the crown, and in 1549 it was bestowed by Edward VI. on Lord Rich, whose son sold it in 1577 to Robert Dudley,
earl
  of Leicester. The
original
  manor
house
  was rebuilt by Lord Chancellor Rich, who was here visited by Queen Elizabeth in 1561, and for her entertainment Sir Philip Sidney wrote a dramatic interlude which was played before the queen at Wanstead garden, and is printed at the end of the Arcadia. Sir Richard Child, afterwards
earl
  of Tylney, built the splendid mansion of Wanstead House in 1715 (demolished in 1822), in which the prince of
Conde
  and others of the Bourbon family resided during the reign of the first
Napoleon
 .
