(With Platf IV. ) 



I HAVE been during tlie past four months in constant charge, 

 as Foreman of the Works, of the operations for the restora- 

 tion of the old building known as Queen Elizabeth's Lodge, 

 carried on by the Epping Forest Committee of the Corporation 



QUEEN ELIZABETH'S HUNTING LODGE, IN EPPING FOREST. 



From the Mirror of May 4th, 1833. Probably representing the condition 

 of the building at that date. 



of London, for the purpose of affording more space for the 

 Museum of the Essex Field Club. During this work the whole 

 of the original timbers, which were covered up on the outside 

 with plastering and sham timbers, have been exposed to view. 

 As the opportunities that I have had of tracing the lines of the 

 old timbers have oeen quite exceptional it may be interesting to 

 relate the observations made and the conclusions drawn there- 

 from as to the original construction of the building.
