Hadley Hurst
Hadley Hurst is a grade II* listed building on Hadley Common road, in Monken Hadley, north of Chipping Barnet.[1]
History[]
The house was reputedly designed by Christopher Wren and dates from at least 1707. In 1936 the owner, , who at different times also lived at Monkenholt and The Chase, sold land adjacent to the house to the local council who created King George's Field recreation ground. A footpath to the field passes the house on its eastern side. The house is known for the giant cedar trees on the Hadley Common side lawn.[2] The house faces south so that the elevation seen from Hadley Common road is actually the rear of the house.
