Pinner, Middlesex

Pinner is a large suburban village in Middlesex. It is first recorded in 1231 as Pinnora. The oldest part of the village lies around the High Street and the 14th-century church of St John the Baptist. The village expanded rapidly between 1923 and 1939 when a series of garden estates, encouraged by the Metropolitan Railway, grew around its historic core. It is now continuous with neighbouring suburban area including Rayners Lane and Eastcote. Pinner contains many houses in the 1930s Art Deco style, the grandest of which is Elm Park Court. Pinner Fair has been held annually since 1336, when it was granted by Royal Charter by Edward III. Pinner is within the council area of Harrow.
