telling him that it is a judgment upon him for all his undutifulness, and that he must always look upon himself as the cause of his son’s death. The old Duke petitioned the King to confer upon him the Earldom of Northumberland, with remainder, after his son’s death, to his grandson Sir Charles Wyndham, and so to exclude Lady Elizabeth, the rightful heiress. In this project he was not successful, and in due time Lady Elizabeth’s husband became Duke of Northumberland, assuming the surname of Percy. Their married life was a very happy one; he was devoted to her, and she returned the devotion, calling him “my dearest angel” and “joy of my soul.” The house in which they lived in Tottenham was taken down and a row of houses erected, called “Northumberland Row,” the middle one being named “Percy House.” In some of these houses is some very curious carved work. Part of the old house and part of the garden wall still remains next the road. Passing Northumberland Park there are still some old houses to be seen before arriving at Union Court, which is on the boundary of Tottenham and Edmonton. Having spoken of the East side of the High-road, I will now start again from Stamford Hill on the West side. First came a large detached house standing in its own grounds with a moat and a drawbridge. This drawbridge was last used in the early part of last century, when a large number of gipsies were seen approaching the house. Mr. Josiah Wilson, J.P., lived next; it was also a large detached house, which lay back a long distance from the High-road, with large grounds attached. This was, I think, the first house taken down on Stamford Hill, and from that time dates the immense change that has taken place all over Tottenham. Then there were a good many other large residences, among which was the “Clock House,” occupied by Miss Deborah Dermer, and two pretty semi-detached houses at the corner of the lane, then called Hanger-lane, now ST. ANN’S ROAD. This was a very quiet road, with only a few cottages and one or two good houses on the left hand side, and fields on the right hand, as far as the four cross roads, where the Midland Railway now crosses the road. HERMITAGE ROAD, leading from St. Ann’s-road to the Green-lanes, was a private road, the property of Mr. Scales. There were beautiful fields on either side, and half way up on the left stood four good houses, each standing in its own grounds. First came “Bridge House,” where Mr. Shirley Hibberd at one time resided. He was particularly fond of ivy, and had twenty-five different varieties growing in his garden.
