  • The Mediaeval Parish of St Mary's, Hornsey, Formed in the Thirteenth
    – The Early Church in Stroud Green – The mediaeval parish of St Mary’s, Hornsey, formed in the thirteenth century, stretched from Stoke Newington in the South to Friern Barnet in the North.1 By the start of the nineteenth century, it still covered the areas from Finsbury Park up to Muswell Hill, with the Parish Church on Hornsey High Street next to where the Greig City Academy is now. As the suburbs of London expanded in the nineteenth century (with the expansion of the rail network) and much of what was originally parkland was filled with new housing, there was a need to provide additional Churches and priests to serve these expanding communities. The first 2 of these was St Michael’s, Highgate in 1834, and was soon followed by others such as Holy Innocents on Tottenham Lane. In 3 1978, a new parish was formed out of the parishes of Holy Innocents, Tottenham Lane and Saint John the Evangelist, 4 Brownswood Park to be Holy Trinity, Stroud Green. Holy Innocents placed a temporary mission hall on the corner of Granville 5 Road, called the Iron Room, which was dedicated on the 31st December 1880. 1 Hinshelwood (2012) 10. 2 Kingsmill-Lunn (2012b). 3 So Frankl (2000) 2 and n1: Kingsmill-Lunn (2012b) however implies that the parish was inaugurated in 1880 when the living was instituted. 4 So London Metropolitan Archives (1999): Mason (2013) has the Church of the Holy Innocents built in 1876-7 and dedicated 28th January 1887, and London Metropolitan Archives (1969) has the patronage of the Church vested in the Bishop of London 24th July 1876.

  • James How and Co. Operated by George John Smith, 1835 – 1905
    James How and Co. operated by George John Smith, 1835 – 1905 successor to James How operated by James How, 1821 – 1872 successor to George Knight and Co. operated by George Knight, Jr., 1812 – 1862 successor to George Knight and Sons operated by George Knight, Sr., 1775 – 1845 George Knight, Jr., 1812 – 1862 Richard Knight, 1813 – 1878 All known microscope slides labeled “James How and Co.” are of mineralogical specimens (Figure 1). That company was operated not by James How, but by George Smith, a man who probably had worked for How and who purchased the business in approximately 1873. Smith frequently exhibited mineralogical slides to his colleagues at the Royal Microscopical Society and the Quekett Microscopical Club, and extensively advertised such specimens. Judging from Smith’s great interest in mineralogy, but without apparent excitement for other types of specimens, it is not unreasonable to suggest that Smith probably made at least some of these slides himself. Smith’s predecessor, James How, made and sold a variety of optical instruments and supplies, including microscopes and slides. However, I am not aware of any extant microscope slides marked as having been sold by James How. James How had acquired his business from his former master, George Knight, Junior. Advertisements published in 1863, when How was beginning his independent business, stated that he had worked for Knight “upwards of twenty years” (Figure 8). Following is a history of the Knight and How businesses, and biographies of the men who operated them. Figure 1. The company name and addresses indicate that these microscope slides were sold by George J.

  • Mural Mania (Part 1) Thursday 23 April 2020
    Throwback Thursday: Mural mania (part 1) Thursday 23 April 2020 Welcome to Throwback Thursday: Mural Mania (part 1) – sharing our heritage from Bruce Castle Museum & Archive. Today we’re looking at some of the murals (wall paintings) that we have (and had!) in the borough. Murals are works of art, displayed inside a building or outside on the façade of buildings or on walls. They sometimes stand out, obvious and bold for everyone passing by to see, but they can also be tucked away and ‘hidden’ in private buildings or places not easily accessed by the public. This can make them vulnerable to not only decay but also to damage and in some cases their demise. From the mid-19th century onwards, public bodies commissioned artwork as part of their development and regeneration programmes to enhance the environment for their residents. This civic or municipal art was thought to encourage a more culturally enlightened and progressive society. One such celebrated mural we have in Haringey which, in normal circumstances, is accessible to all, can be found in the Muswell Hill Library on Queens Avenue. We have previously talked about the map of Hornsey etched into a window in the Hornsey Library (see the post dated 3 April), by Frederick J. Mitchell, who was the Head of Design at Hornsey College of Art in 1965. Along similar lines, the College also created the mural (below) which has been in place in the Children’s Section of the Muswell Hill Library since its unveiling on 24 February 1938. The mural in the Children’s Library on the first floor of Muswell Hill Library in 2010.
