GB 0074 ACC/1289 1683-1894 Collection 0.15 linear metres. Manor of Topsfield , Crouch End

The Manor of Topsfield or Topsfield Hall probably originated in a sub-manor created by the Bishop of London, who held large lands in this area. A merchant, Richard of Topsfield, apparently rented the manor in 1342 and may have given it its name. The first confirmed record of ownership is Stephen Maynard of Islington who held 41 acres in 1374. The manor passed through several hands until 1894 when it was sold to builders and the land was developed. The manor house, Topsfield Hall, was built in 1781 on the angle of Tottenham and Middle Lanes. It was demolished in 1895.
