TOTTENHAM HIGH CROSS, a village on the west side of the river Lea,
five miles north-east from London in the road to Ware. David King of
Scotland being possessed of this manor, after it had belonged to the
Earls of Northumberland and Chester, gave it to the monastery of the
Trinity in London; but Henry VIII. granted it to William Lord Howard
of Effingham, who being afterwards attainted, it reverted again to the
King, who then granted it to the dean and chapter of St. Paul’s to
whom it still belongs. The present Earl of Northumberland and the Lord
Colerain have seats here, and there are also a great number of pretty
houses belonging to the citizens of London, the church stands on a
hill, which has a little river called the Mosel at the bottom, to the
west, north and east.
The parish is divided into four wards, viz. 1. Nether ward, in which
stands the parsonage and vicarage: 2. Middle ward, comprehending Church
end, and Marsh street. 3. High Cross ward, containing the hall, the
mill, Page green, and the High cross; and 4. Wood Green ward, which
comprehends all the rest of the parish, and is bigger than the three
other wards put together.
The cross, which gives name to the place, was once much higher than it
is at present, and upon that spot Queen Eleanor’s corps was rested,
when on the road from Lincolnshire to London. St. Loy’s well, in this
parish, is said to be always full, and never to run over; and the
people report many strange cures performed at Bishop’s Well. In 1596,
an almshouse was founded here by one Zancher, a Spaniard, the first
confectioner ever known in this kingdom. Here are also a free-school,
and a charity school for twenty-two girls, who are cloathed and taught.
