A short history of N16
Stoke Newington is taken to mean a new settlement in woodland and its common was used for making axes in Neolithic times. The Domesday Book of 1086 lists the manor under the name Neutone, with St Paul's holding it before the Norman Conquest and after it. Documents from the 1200s mention Stamford Hill as a sand ford. In the 1600s William Patten bought the manor from the cathedral. Local parishes sought a turnpike trust in 1713 and by 1795 wealthy financiers and merchants had built large houses along the Stamford Hill road. Early in the 19th century the manor was sold in parcels as building land. The railway arrived in 1872. Jewish settlement grew from the 1880s and the Union of Orthodox Hebrew Congregations formed in 1926. Of 134 listed buildings nearby, nine are Grade II*.
