Whetstone, London history
Early history
In medieval times the Hospitallers had a settlement nearby in Friern Barnet probably where Friary Park is now and alongside the old road to London. In 1340 the Bishop of London opened a gate into his park (the Highgate) which enabled a straight road across Finchley Common along the ridge there.
The Whetstone
The Whetstone is a mounting block outside The Griffin public house in Friern Barnet. The stone was moved to its present location when the toll gate was removed in 1863. The earliest evidence for the existence of the stone is a photograph taken in 1861.
