Friern Barnet history
Friern Barnet was an ancient parish in the Finsbury division of Ossulstone hundred, in the county of Middlesex. The area was originally considered to be part of Barnet, most of which was in Hertfordshire. The opening of Colney Hatch paupers’ lunatic asylum in 1851 prompted its development as an outer London suburb. The “Friern” part of the parish’s name derives from the French for “brother”
