MenuHomerton, Middlesex
Homerton is a former hamlet that is now an urban area in the metropolitan district of Hackney, Middlesex. The earliest record to Homerton is from 1343. Homerton developed for about a half-mile along the road on the north side of the Hackney Brook (now buried). Homerton became a desirable suburb of London in the Tudor period, with many estates and grand houses. Sutton House, built in 1535 by Sir Ralph Sadler (Principal Secretary of State to Henry VIII), is a rare example of a red brick building from the Tudor period. The 19th century brought industry and large-scale housing development. The Church of St Barnabas (1852) was designed by Hackney-born Arthur Ashpitel and built of Kentish ragstone. The area is within the council area of Hackney.
