Pymmes House was a house built by William Pymme in 1327 in what is now Pymmes Park, in Edmonton, London. It had a succession of notable owners, particularly in the Elizabethan period and was remodelled and rebuilt several times. It was demolished after a fire in 1940.
The first Pymmes House was built by William Pymme in 1327,[2] a landowner in Edmonton, now in London, and member of the Pymme family who had been granted land by Edward II in the 14th century.[1][3]
In the late 19th century the house was owned by Sir Henry Tyler, member of Parliament and railway director.[1] From 1875 till 1878 it was the home of the Nawab of Bengal and his Family.
It was significantly remodelled more than once but demolished after a fire in 1940 that is not thought to have been the result of Second World War bombing. The grade II listed garden walls still exist in Pymmes Park.[1]
