Ballards Reding, a small area of demesne cleared from Finchley wood at Ballards Lane, was leased out by 1447, and from 1540 was leased with Hornsey great park until William Strode, lessee of the whole estate, split it up in 1788. It consisted of 22 acres in 1811, when John Bacon sold it to Thomas Harrison Andrew (d. 1824) of Moss Hall, whose devisees conveyed it to Samuel Wimbush. In 1854 Wimbush's sons Samuel, Joshua, and Henry inherited the leasehold as tenants in common, buying the bishop's remaining interest in 1855. In 1841 the Wimbush estate, centred on Fallow Corner, consisted of 45 acres of freehold and 113 acres of leasehold land. It remained with the family until 1901, when Barnes Wimbush sold it to E. L. Perry.
