Ray Park, Woodford Bridge

Introduction

This is a fragment of a large 16th-century estate that is now divided by the M11 to form two distinctive parks, Ray Park to the west and Ashton Playing Fields to the east. The park has notable cedar, sycamore, horse chestnut, lime and oak, with a number of rose beds in the area of the house. Ray Lodge was converted into the James Leal Centre in December 2009. To the north of the house is an octangular late-18th-century walled garden.
