Synopsis
Excerpt from The Home Counties Magazine, 1908, Vol. 10: Devoted to the Topography of London, Middlesex, Essex, Herts, Bucks, Berks, Surrey, and Kent
Grays; both these roads join again at stanford-le-hope, about 1 1 miles distant, as a glance at the map will tell us. We take the left hand road leading to Aveley; it is a gentle incline for nearly a mile, at the top of the hill we notice some lodge gates; these form the entrance to Belhus, a fine old castellated building of the time of Henry VII, belonging to the Lennard Barrett family. The north side has mullioned windows with arched heads, and the house, with its crow-stepped gables and turrets, is rather picturesque; it is however not visible from the road in the summer time owing to the number of trees surrounding it. The house contains an unbroken series of portraits of the chief owners down to the present day.
It is traditionally believed that Queen Elizabeth stayed here for one night when on her way to Tilbury, to review the tr00ps stationed there in readiness for the coming of King Phillip's great Armada; this, however, is very doubtful, although a room was I believe prepared for her, which is still kept and called by her name.
