M1 Drainage - Enfield
Enfield Town: A Brief History and Interesting Facts
Enfield’s origins date back to the Saxon period; the name “Enfield” likely derives from “Eana’s field” or the Old English “ēan feld” meaning “open land where lambs are reared.” By the medieval era Enfield had become an agricultural and market hub. The town developed around the parish church of St Andrew, established by the 12th century, and grew further with the arrival of the Royal Small Arms Factory at Enfield Lock in the 19th century, which played a major role in both local employment and Britain’s industrial and military history.
Key historical milestones
Medieval market town: Enfield held regular markets from medieval times, fostering local trade and crafts.
16th–17th centuries: Enfield Wash and Enfield Chase (a royal hunting ground) shaped local land use; Enfield Chase was enclosed in the late 18th century, altering the landscape and encouraging development.
19th century industrial growth: The Royal Small Arms Factory (RSAF) at Enfield Lock, established in the early 1800s, became one of the area’s largest employers and a centre of weapons manufacturing.
Railway and suburban expansion: The arrival of railways in the mid-19th century linked Enfield to London, prompting suburban growth and new housing for commuters.
20th century to present: Urban development, post-war housing and improved transport turned Enfield into great community hub.
