About Chipping Barnet
Chipping Barnet is a place in the London Borough of Barnet in north London built around a 12th century settlement. It is located 10 miles North West of Central London and is located in postal district EN5. Barnet was part of Hertfordshire, but in 1965 became part of the London metropolitan area. Allen and Young Ltd carry out all moving services including removals, man and van, storage, packing and house clearance in the Chipping Barnet area.
The tower of St John the Baptist, at the top of Barnet Hill, claims to be the highest point between itself and the Russian Ural Mountains, but other high points have also laid claim to this. Barnet Hill however is very high and a traditional place to rest on the historic Great North Road.
The town of Barnet is famous for many things. It is the site of an ancient and well-known horse fair, hence the Cockney rhyming slang of “Barnet” for “hair”. Queen Elizabeth I granted a charter to the Lord of the Manor of Barnet in 1588 to hold a twice yearly fair. The town was also the site of the Battle of Barnet in 1471, where Yorkist troops led by King Edward IV killed the rebellious “kingmakers” Richard Neville, Earl of Warwick and his brother John, Marquess of Montagu.
In Saxon Times the site was part of an extensive wood called Southaw, belonging to the Abbey of St Albans. The name of the town appears in early deeds as ‘Bergnet’ which is a Saxon word ‘Bergnet’ that signifies a little hill or monticulus. Barnet’s elevated position is also indicated in one of its alternative names ‘High Barnet’, which it bears in many old books and maps, and which the railway company restored.
