This wonderful fireplace was salvaged from the Royal Palace of Havering Bower, which was situated atop the nearby hill, the centre of the present Havering village. The fireplace bears a plaque carrying an inscription dated 1729 commemorating the transfer. There is also at the top of the chimney piece a carved angel corbel bearing the arms of King Edward the third (1327-1377) which attests to its antiquity. See also Image and Image
