History

Church Farmhouse, situated next to Hendon parish church, is one of the oldest surviving houses in Barnet, built around 1660 with 18th/early-19th century additions. It was in use as a farm until 1944 when it was purchased by Hendon Borough Council. The house was restored and opened as a museum in 1955. The museum closed in 2011 and the building is currently (2014) for sale.
