Biographical history

The parish of Monken Hadley lay in the north-east of Middlesex, and is recorded as a separate parish by 1175. By the 19th century the parish was bordered by South Mimms, Enfield, Chipping Barnet, East Barnet, Cockfosters and the Great North Road.

A parochial church at Monken Hadley was first mentioned in 1175 under the control of the abbots of Walden, in Essex. In 1545 the advowson was conveyed to the manor and remained with the manor until 1786, when it was purchased. During the 19th century it passed through various hands, mostly the incumbent of the parish. The parish was made subject to the Bishop of London in 1777. The church was dedicated to Saint Mary the Virgin. It is recorded as being reconstructed in 1494 on the site of an older building. Various extensions were added between the 15th century and 1810. In 1848 the interior was remodelled.
