Tudor Barn, Eltham

William married Margaret More, the daughter of Thomas More, and one of the most learned women of sixteenth-century England.

[citation needed] Edith Nesbit, author of The Railway Children and co-founder of the Fabian Society, lived in a house in the grounds of the Tudor Barn from 1899 to 1921.

The Woolwich Borough Council then decided that they would use the newly renovated barn as the centrepiece of a new park, which is known as Well Hall Pleasaunce.

This was not the council's original intention, however; they wanted a library and museum in the Tudor Barn, but these never materialised.

[3] For years after the Second World War, the barn contained the art gallery, a restaurant and a room for weddings and events in the upstairs space.
