Arnos Grove history

---

Arnos Grove was, until the dissolution of the monasteries by Henry VIII, owned by the Nuns of Clerkenwell. It was known as Armholt Wood in the 14th century, and later as Arnolds. A Tudor manor house was erected on the site, but was demolished in 1719. The next owner, Sir William Mayne (later Lord Newhaven), renamed the house and estate Arnos Grove, which is now pronounced as though it never had an apostrophe.

Parent districts and administrative areas

Until the building of its tube station Arnos Grove was largely undeveloped and rural. As its name suggests it was not a manor, parish or district in its own right. Edmonton which included all parts of Southgate was one of five parishes of Edmonton Hundred. The heart of the hundred became the London Borough of Enfield.

Arnos Grove etymology

The area’s name derives from that of an estate called Arnoldes Grove or Arno’s Grove, i.e. ‘grove or copse of the Arnold family’ The Arnolds were local landowners who are mentioned in documents dating from 14th century.
