Minchington Hall

It was on Southgate Green and the south side of Waterfall Road, and adjoined Arnolds (Arnos Grove) slightly further east, which was originally less significant than Minchington.

[6][7] The estate was part of the Cecil lands and in 1614 it was sold by the Earl of Salisbury to John Weld of Arnolds when it was described as a wood of 50 acres (20 ha).

[10] After his death in 1789, his widow Anne Eliza, Dowager Duchess of Chandos (died 1813), received Minchington Hall and 105 acres (42 ha) of the estate for life.

[14] Materials from the demolished Minchington Hall were used when Henry Eaton, landlord of The Cherry Tree extended the nearby Albert Cottage, which he renamed Minchenden Lodge.

Minchenden Crescent runs between Chandos Avenue in the west and Forestdale in the east over ground that was once part of Minchington estate.
