A short history of NW7
The name Barnet Gate in Arkley is linked to Grendel's Gate, which suggests a place of modest importance by 1005 and Barnet manorial court sat there in the 13th century. Arkley was recorded as Arkleyslond in 1332. Mill Hill appears as Myllehill in 1547, probably meaning a hill with a windmill and its village grew along a medieval route called The Ridgeway. From the 17th century the area attracted people wanting a rural retreat, including William Wilberforce and Sir Stamford Raffles. Arkley Windmill was in use by 1806 and St Peter's Church dates from 1840, when it was put up as a chapel for private use. Arkley joined Barnet Urban District in 1905. In 1940 the Radio Security Service moved into Arkley View. There are 45 listed buildings, with Holcombe House the only Grade II* and 44 at Grade II.
