  • Finchley Society Annual Report 2008-2009
    The Finchley Society Annual Report 2008-2009 Our Annual Report has again changed its format and its focus. The first few paragraphs represent an overview of our work and aspirations. They are followed by reports from the committees that, year in and out, carry on the involvement of the Society in various aspects of the local environment. One phrase that will be increasingly used now and in the future is ‘public benefit’. The Society is obliged to consider all its activities in terms of benefit to the general public. This really does mean that our objectives and our actions should benefit everyone in the community and not just those who happen to pay a subscription to the Society. We do think that we have been working for the greater good ever since we adopted the war-cry of “ Conserve, Enhance, Inform and Educate” way back in 1971. However, we can do more. We set up a Working Party last year to suggest ways in which Public Benefit could be better served. Its report has been under active review since the end of last year and recommendations are being gradually discussed and adopted. The Society is operating against a background of increasing costs and a diminishing membership. We mention elsewhere our determination to maintain the fabric of the Society and its core activities but the membership can contribute in several ways: • By maintaining their support for the Society through renewed membership • By recruiting new members • By suggesting and participating in campaigns • By joining one of our working committees- all of them benefit from new blood and new ideas.

  • Could This Be Highwayman Dick Turpin's Other Oak?
    8 NOVEMBER 2019 The Archer - www.the-archer.co.uk Could this be highwayman ByDick Linda Dolata Turpin’s other oak? Oak Lane in East Finchley, on the left side of the High Road as you head towards the North Circular, is named after a huge ancient oak tree that stood there until 1952. It was known as ‘Turpin’s Oak’ as in its time it would have been one of the trees on Finchley Common, where highwaymen lurked, ready to waylay and rob travellers on the Great North Road, now the High Road. Whether Dick Turpin himself actually hid by it or not, it was certainly alive in his day. It is said that when it was cut down, lead bullets were found in the trunk. Hidden in a hedge This summer I noticed an interesting hedge alongside the North Circular not far away, just as it crosses Long Lane. The hedge has a good range of species: blackthorn, hawthorn, bramble, dog rose, hazel, elder, field maple and a lot of elm, suggesting it is of a good age. The hedge can be accessed from Font Hills and was obviously left to act as a noise filter between the dwellings and the North Circular. When I took a closer look I discovered a fantastic pollarded veteran oak tree. Fallen hero: The memorial to John Henry Parr in Lodge Lane, N12. Detective-work Photo John Lawrence. It is almost five metres in girth, suggesting that as a pollard (a tree trimmed from the top, which Roots in history: This veteran oak could date extends its life) it is probably well over 300 or even back to the days of highwayman Dick Turpin.

  • COLDHARBOUR, 1064 HIGH ROAD, N20 Notes by John Heathfield Note
    COLDHARBOUR, 1064 HIGH ROAD, N20 Notes by John Heathfield Note: In the following: admitted = registered owner of, mess = messuage (dwelling house), surr = sold 1614 The earliest reference is the 1614 Finchley Poor Rate book which reads “Ralph Smith for a piece of land impaled before his house at Woodside or Coldharbour - payed XII shillings. John Hankinson, gent, Coldharbour XX pence.” The next field to the south of Coldharbour was called Hopkins, presumably after a previous owner. He built a house there and then a second house next to it on a site of ½ an acre later used as a beer house called the Dog or Spotted Dog later the Queens Head. (Source Brit Mus Add MS 5847) The whole site was later split into two houses Derwent Lodge and Coldharbour. 1691 1691 Sept 17 Robert Campion of Coldharbour buried at Totteridge. 1701 From “The Post Man” published 1701. At Coldharbour near Whetstone about 2 miles from Barnet is a house and large garden and a coach house with stables and a brewhouse. There was much traffic on the Great North Road and stables were needed. Horse dealing, as opposed to horse breeding, became profitable and Coldharbur was used for this. William Castle who died in 1775, was the father of the William Castle who owned Coldharbour in 1784. In 1790, Coldharbour was sold to John Kendrick, a horse dealer originally from Kilburn, who exported horses to France. He leased Coldharbour with its extensive stables to John Shaw of Finchley 1715 Bishop of London’s Court: Mr Brown of Coldharbour fined ¾ penny for not appearing for duty at the Homage 1720 Licensed Victuallers Return (Middlesex Sessions) shows James Rust, The Spotted Dog.

  • 1 the History and Archaeology of Queen's
    THE HISTORY AND ARCHAEOLOGY OF QUEEN’S WOOD Michael Hacker July 2017 Frontispiece: Queen’s Wood - three year coppiced hazel and hornbeam with oak standards.1 1 image © Michael Hacker 2016 1 Summary Queen’s Wood is one of four areas of ancient woodland in Haringey that have been wooded for at least four hundred years. But little is known of the early history and development of the wood; was the land always wooded, what was the nature of the early woodland and how has it changed over time? This account of the history of Queen’s Wood reviews the results of a series of small- scale archaeological evaluations carried out in Queen’s Wood and the nearby Coldfall Wood between 2010 and 2012. It relates the results of these evaluations to information derived from documents and maps as well as recent botanical surveys. The land has been continuously wooded for at least the last thousand years, and possibly since prehistoric times. For much of this time the wood was not untamed wildwood but was managed for its timber and firewood, and grazed by cattle and pigs. This has lead to radical changes in the nature of the wood. Initially, the prehistoric woodland was probably dominated by lime with elm and oak. By the late Saxon period this had been replaced by open grazed wood-pasture dominated by hazel and oak. During the Middle Ages the woodland became degraded through over- exploitation and what was to become Queen’s Wood was enclosed by a woodbank to protect it from grazing and trespass.

  • 4. Finchley Ridge
    4. Finchley Ridge Key plan Description The Finchley Ridge Natural Landscape Area extends north-west from Dollis Hill to Finchley, East Barnet and to the fringes of Greater London at Enfield. It is underlain by London Clay, but outcrops of glacial till and gravel deposits form a broken ridge of higher land (Muswell Hill – 98m AOD, Oakleigh Park – 94m AOD and Ferny Hill – 102m AOD). The till is composed of pebbly, silty and sandy clay jumbled together. It was laid down along the southern margins of the Anglian ice sheet, which extended northwards across East Anglia and the North Sea. 4. Finchley Ridge Finchley 4. The hills and ridges are separated by streams flowing south to the Brent River (Dollis Brook and Silk Stream) and east to the River Lea (Pymme’s Brook and Salmon Brook). The majority of the urban areas date from the interwar period, with older Victorian terraces centred on the principal railway lines and connecting the dense older core settlements of Southgate, Whetstone and Friern Barnet. The urban centres of Hendon, Finchley, Friern Barnet, Southgate and East Barnet extend along the valley sides and across ridgetops, with linear open space corridors along some of the streams and railway tracks and larger open spaces (amenity grass and trees), golf courses and cemeteries on the valley sides. There are also some small but prominent blocks of woodland (e.g. Coppett’s Wood, Big Wood and Coldfall Wood). Towards the outer (Green Belt) fringes of London, there is an undulating large-scale farmland landscape with a geometric pattern of large rectangular arable fields enclosed by hedgerows.
