A short history of N1

The Berners family, medieval lords of the manor, acquired much of Islington after the Conquest. Bernersbury, recorded in 1274, became Barnsbury. The Angel Inn, which gave Angel its name, existed from the 17th century. Clerkenwell and Islington, divided by a boundary through the area, joined the bills of mortality in 1604 and 1636 respectively. Late in the 18th century Barnsbury drew comparatively wealthy people leaving the crowded City and industrial Clerkenwell. It was the first staging post north and saw cattle driven to Smithfield. Mainly rural until the early 19th century, it gained Pentonville Prison in 1842. The parishes came under the Metropolitan Board of Works in 1855 and the County of London in 1889. In 1900 Clerkenwell joined Finsbury while Islington became a borough itself and the two combined in 1965. Barnard Park was created in 1967 on bombed housing. There are 539 listed buildings, with Union Chapel at Grade I.
