Claysmore

"The seat of Jas. Whatman Bosanquet, Esq., J.P." Engraving from A history of Enfield by Ford and Hodson, 1873. Believed to have been built in 1608, this house was on the north side of Clay Hill, between the Rose and Crown and the Fallow Buck, with an estate of 150 acres. It was owned until 1847 by Edward Harman, and then by Major James Whatman Bosanquet, founder and treasurer of the Protestant Association, who lived there for thirty years until he died in December 1877. Claysmore boys' preparatory school opened in 1896. The house was demolished in the late 1930s. - History of Enfield by David Pam, vol.1, p.289 and The Enfield book by Graham Dalling (where it is spelt Clayesmore).
