Verified history
Myatt’s Fields is described by its official website as a Victorian park. A 2013 National Lottery Heritage Fund film recounts how the park’s neglected condition prompted a restoration project, supported by a £1.52 million Heritage Lottery grant awarded in 2006. The film says heritage buildings and park features were restored and describes the work of local park users and the Friends of Myatt’s Fields Park. The official park website identifies the original bandstand and summerhouse as 19th-century features.
