A short history of NW3

Finds on Hampstead Heath point to a hunter-gatherer community around 7000 BCE and objects near Well Walk dated 70 to 120 CE suggest a Roman settlement or road close by. The name Hampstead comes from Anglo-Saxon words meaning homestead. A grant to St Peter's monastery at Westminster in AD 986 is an early record and the Domesday Book of 1086 places Hampstead in the Middlesex hundred of Ossulstone. In 1317 the Manor of Belsize, named from French words meaning well situated, was split from the Manor of Hampstead and left to the monks of Westminster Abbey. Belsize House was rebuilt in 1663 and from 1700 the Well's mineral waters were advertised. The Belsize grounds were pleasure gardens from 1721 to 1745. Railways from the 1860s and 1907 spurred growth and large houses rose in the 1870s and 1880s.
