Broomfield House - Update October 2022

Latest news about this ongoing saga .....



Enfield Council have recently announced to the Broomfield House Trust and FoBP that it intends to bid for Lottery funding for a project titled “Unlocking Broomfield Park for the Community” to 

 

 “kick-start the rejuvenation of Broomfield Park by dismantling the derelict shell of Broomfield House, and reconnecting the park and House through memorialisation, interpretation, and landscaping. Heritage engagement activities over 2 years will involve the community and   result in a shared vision & memorialisation of their memories of Broomfield House.” 

 

The Trust and FoBP are extremely disappointed that this Grade II* House has in effect been lost through years of neglect. However, the project title is both positive and reflects the significance of the site and its relationship with the park and the Stableyard. We welcome the planned Heritage engagement activities with the community over two years, which will be critical to a successful outcome of the project. We hope that this will ensure that the proposed design creatively embraces archaeology, heritage, landscape, and community aspects of the House.   

 

The bidding process for Lottery funding is complex. There are two bidding rounds, with the first application being submitted between May and August 2023. The Council will be creating a consultation list for stakeholder groups beyond the Broomfield House Trust and Friends of Broomfield Park and intend to have another meeting of the Working Group in December to discuss how to frame the project as a Heritage Fund application.
