Medieval History
Bruce Castle Museum in Lordship Lane, Tottenham, may well be sitting on the remains of a manor house once belonging to Robert the Bruce.
The Tottenham Manor Rolls ? parchments dating back to the early 14th century and part of the museum?s archives ? show ownership of the land by the de Brus family, who came over from France after 1066.
