About the Society
The Edmonton Hundred Historical Society is a local history society covering the old Edmonton Hundred area - a medieval administrative area of what was in Middlesex and is now in the London Boroughs of Barnet, Enfield and Haringey and a small part of Hertfordshire (since Potters Bar was moved there from Middlesex). The area includes present-day Edmonton, Enfield, Monken Hadley, Potters Bar, South Mimms, Southgate, Tottenham and Wood Green. The 1820 map above represents the Edmonton Hundred area as shown in the Domesday Book of 1086.
The Edmonton Hundred Historical Society was founded in 1936 to foster an interest in research and publications about the area. Membership is open to everyone with an interest in the history of the locality.
The Society has an active programme of monthly talks on a wide variety of topics by guest speakers and society members, mostly in the evening during the summer months, and in the afternoon in winter..
Members receive a copy of the newsletter (currently bi-monthly), which contains articles (some by the members themselves), reports on talks, information on future activities, including visits to places of historical interest, and
The Society enjoys links with other local groups and joins forces for meetings when the subject matter is of mutual interest.
For many years the Society held a Day Conference on an autumn Saturday focusing on a theme of relevance to our area. We hope to be reviving that part of our activities soon. .
we also hope to recommence our publishing activities soon. Over the years the Society has published more than 60 books on the history of the area and continues to add new publications to the catalogue. These publications are available to members at reduced prices.
The Society uses its influence for the preservation of local buildings and sites of historic interest. It can only do this with a strong and active membership as it relies on the members to keep it informed of impending changes which might lead to the destruction of some part of our heritage.
The Society is a Registered Charity, No: 299073
