Big Wood
Big Wood is more than a thousand years old and was once much larger. It was probably given by the Bishop of Hereford to the Bishop of London in 704 and its western boundary marked the edge of the Bishop's estate. When Hampstead Garden Suburb was planned Henrietta Barnett was committed to the provision of green spaces. The original suburb built in 1907 was south of the wood and in 1911another 112 acres were bought for the 'New Suburb'. Big Wood was then leased from the Ecclesiastical Commissioners and in 1933 it was transferred to Finchley Urban District Council and in 1964 to the London Borough of Barnet. Big Wood has many wild service trees, and crab apples as well as oak, ash, wild cherry, hornbeam, sessile oak, whitebeam, rowan, holly, elder, and field maple. At the Temple Fortune Hill entrance is a new gate, donated by residents to commemorate the 29 suburb residents who died in the Second World War.

Some interior design was by the Middlesex County Council’s architect Charles Handscombe.
