About Highgate
The first record of the name Highgate was in 1354, Highgate in the 14th century was recorded only in connexion with the road to the gateway or with the hermits who lived near by and repaired the road. Early growth was due to general traffic and to the hermitage, which attracted pilgrims by 1464.
From the mid 15th century residents often left money to the hermitage.
During the 16th century Highgate began to outstrip neighbouring settlements. At Cantlowes manor court a constable for Highgate was appointed in the 1530s (fn. 18) and at Hornsey there were separate officials for Hornsey Side and Highgate Side by 1577. (Highgate had five ale-houses in 1552, when Hornsey had three and Muswell Hill one. Londoners increasingly acquired property in Highgate and some ambitious building was mentioned in the 1550s
