More about this scene

In the 12th century Friern Barnet belonged to the Hospital of St John of Jerusalem, and the church, notwithstanding extensive mid 19th-century additions, dates from around that time. Picturesque in its remarkably rural surroundings, its building materials include examples of a geological oddity: blocks of iron cemented gravel-stone (Fericrete), which is also to be seen in the base of Manor Farm barn, Harmondsworth and in St Mary's Church, Bedfont, close to Heathrow.
