A short history of N8
The name Hornsey dates from the Saxon period and comes from a chieftain called Haering, whose enclosure it described. It was written as Harenhg' around 1195 and the church was first mentioned in 1291. Crouch End was recorded as Crouchend in 1465, named for a cross at a junction of four roads. From the later eighteenth century wealthy merchants built large villas here. The railway arrived in 1850 and the village grew quickly after about 1860, merging with Crouch End. Freehold land societies built working-class housing at Abyssinia and Campsbourne in the late 1860s. Crouch End stayed rural until around 1880 and had seven railway stations by 1887. Of 26 listed buildings, four are Grade II*: the tower of the Old Parish Church of St Mary, The Queen's Public House, the Greek Orthodox Church of St John the Baptist and Hornsey Town Hall.
