Old Crouch Hall School, The Broadway, Crouch End, Greater London
Crouch End grew up as a hamlet on the old medieval route from London to the north. It was a heavily wooded area containing farms and country houses. One of these was Crouch Hall. It was probably built in 1681 at the crossroads of what came to be known as Crouch End. The name of the school suggests it was set up in the old Hall. It was run by Mr Lynn from 1882. The building was demolished in 1885. A new estate called The Crouch Hall estate was partly built up by 1894.
