Greenhill estate

Pricklers was a large country estate named after a medieval family called Prittle.

[2][citation needed] On Dame Margaret's death in 1713 she left Pricklers to her son Marsh Woolfe, although he was then only thirteen years of age.

Until he came of age, the estate was administered on his behalf by the executors of the will, namely Margaret Nicholl (Dame Margaret's daughter by a previous marriage) and John Godden Woolfe (Sir John Woolfe's son by a previous marriage).

Marsh Woolfe in turn left his estate in 1748 to his half-nephew by blood Thomas Brand of The Hoo, the son of Dame Margaret Woolfe`s daughter Margaret.

In 1926 East Barnet Council purchased the remaining land which is now Greenhill Gardens.
