New Southgate history

---

First reference to New Southgate is in the 1850s. North and east parts were known as Betstyle and fell into the Municipal Borough of Southgate. West parts from 1409 until the 20th century were frequently referred to in title deeds as Colney Hatch.

Friern Hospital

Many tens of acres were bought and used by the second county lunatic asylum for Middlesex. The later mental health hospital on the site closed in 1993. It was redeveloped into two housing estates in New Southgate.

Churches

The Anglican church in New Southgate is the first locally. It originated in 1870 in a mission to the new district of Colney Hatch by the assistant curate of the church built seven years previously in Southgate. In 1873 it became a consolidated chapelry in parts of Southgate and Friern Barnet parishes.
