Description
NRHE data transfer:
Medieval tenement and house at Wrightsbridge, Romford. The Wright family are known from 1355 but the earliest specific reference to this tenement is in 1550s. The house in 1618 was a substantial gabled structure; the site is presently occupied by a brick house of the early to mid 18th century. The nearby Angel Cottage lies in the same land holding and may be the 'Malland' of 1625 or 'Little Wrightsbridge' of 1659. The present building comprises the north half of a late 14th to early 15th century timber-framed Hall House and may be the original house on the land-holding. <1>
