Winchmore Hill, Middlesex

Winchmore Hill is a suburban village in Middlesex. It is first record in a deed dated 1319 as 'Wynsemerhull'. A Quaker community was in existence here by 1688 when a Friends’ meeting house was built, the present meeting house dating from 1790. Winchmore Hill railway station opened in 1871, though the area was not fully developed until the 20th century. By 1935 Winchmore Hill was almost entirely built up, though its distinct identity and village-feel persists. The village is within the council area of Enfield.
