Church End, Finchley history
Hendon Lane and the Church
Finchley’s oldest church, St Mary-at-Finchley, was established sometime in the 12th century. Early documents mention it from the 1270s, and by 1356 it was dedicated to St Mary. Next to the church in Hendon Lane stood the Old Queen’s Head, which took its name from Queen Anne, and was owned by the Finchley Charities.
Regents Park Road and Ballards Lane
Until the 1820s the only route north from Temple Fortune to Finchley was along a road called Ducksetters Lane (known as such by 1475) The King of Prussia public house was a licensed property by the middle of the 18th century and may have originally been the King’s Head. Finchley and Hendon station was opened by the Edgware, Highgate and London Railway which became later Finchley (Church End) station and Finchley Central station.
Finchley Manor and surrounding district
Bibbesworth was a sub-manor which had been born from an earlier estate owned by a family styling itself the Finchleys during the 13th century. There was certainly a manor house by 1253 but this burnt down and was replaced during the 15th and 16th centuries. The last to hold the manor was Edward Cooper Arden and the last was held in 1936.
Long Lane
Squires Lane runs from the manor house to the High Road, the traditional division between East Finchley and Church End. Long Lane may have been known in medieval times as Ferrours Lane. Behind the large houses which fronted the west side of the road was Claigmar Vineyards, started in 1874 by Peter Edmund Kay. The site is now the headquarters of the Pentland Group of companies.
Nether Street and West Finchley
Nether Street was recognised by the mid-14th century as an old street, sometimes called ‘Lower Street’ West Finchley station on the LNER railway opened on 1 March 1933 and became part of the London Underground upon electrification on 14 April 1940. West of Nether Street is Dollis Brook, a tributary of the River Brent which forms the western boundary between the ancient parishes of Finchley and Hendon.
