Pyrgo Gatepost
Pyrgo Park, London Borough of Havering. Gatepost of the former Pyrgo Palace.
Pyrgo Park is the site of one of Henry VIII's palaces. It is where he held meetings with his daughters Elizabeth and Mary, after which he decided to settle the succession on them rather than choose a more distantly-related male successor. Nothing remains of the palace on the surface. Local wisdom has it that the gateposts survive from the Tudor palace; though I suspect they actually belonged to the Victorian Pyrgo House (also demolished).
