    At the corner of High Road and Oakleigh Road North in 1486 John Doggett owned a cottage "with curtilage and three crofts called Beldam, Middlefield and Cokkefield". By 1796 Richard Attfield had replaced the cottage by three cottages running east down Oakleigh Road. Attfield, who came to Whetstone in 1790, was a grocer and a parish clerk. He had beautiful handwriting. It is in his hand that a moving entry in the parish accounts reads: "To burying a poor unknown boy 6d, and a box for putting him in 4d".

    Attfield planted a row of elm trees along the High Road which were a feature that the Whetstone Society today seeks to emulate. The cottages were demolished after 1881 and the present row of yellow brick shops erected.

Note on Husband: Richard Attfield (1)

Occupation: surveyor, of Friern Barnet, Middlesex

 

At the corner of High Road and Oakleigh Road North in 1486 John Doggett owned a cottage "with curtilage and three crofts called Beldam, Middlefield and Cokkefield". By 1796 Richard Attfield had replaced the cottage by three cottages running east down Oakleigh Road. Attfield, who came to Whetstone in 1790, was a grocer and a parish clerk. He had beautiful handwriting. It is in his hand that a moving entry in the parish accounts reads: "To burying a poor unknown boy 6d, and a box for putting him in 4d".

Attfield planted a row of elm trees along the High Road which were a feature that the Whetstone Society today seeks to emulate. The cottages were demolished after 1881 and the present row of yellow brick shops erected.
