Historical Description
The beautiful village of Hendon derives its name from its elevated situation. It was anciently written Heandune, from Highendune, signifying a hill covered with wood. The village is scattered over a considerable tract of ground, and consists of several detached groups of houses, known by the names of Church End, Brent Street, Lawrence Street, Page Street, Dole Street, Burrows, Dallis, the Hyde, "Mill Mill, Highwood Hill, Chile’s Hill, Hocomb Hill, Goldhurst or Golden Given, and Golden Hill. The parish of Hendon is in the hundred of Goare and is seven miles in length from north to south, and from two to four in breadth.
At the time of the Doomsday survey, the manor of Hendon was part of the demesnes of the church of St. Peter, Westminster, having been given to that monastery by Archbishop Dunstan. After the Dissolution it was granted to Sir William Hubert, by King Edward.
There was formerly a very remarkable cedar tree in the garden of Hendon House; it was blown down by the high wind on the 1st of January, 1779. Sir John Cullum gives its dimensions thus: the height 70 feet; diameter of the horizontal extent of its branches 100 feet; circumference of the trunk, at seven feet from the ground, 16 feet; at 12 feet from the ground, 20 feet; the limbs from six to twelve feet in girth. He adds that the gardener, two years before it was blown down, made 50l. of the cones.
The Church is a handsome structure, consisting of a double chancel, a nave, two aisles, with octagonal pillars and pointed arches. At the west end is a square embattled tower.
There are a considerable number of monuments in this church; among the more remarkable are the following:
In the north chancel is the monument of Sir William Rawlinson, Knt, one of the commissioners of the great seal, who died 11th May, 1703; his effigies, in white marble, is represented with a flowing peruke, and the chancellor’s robe; underneath is a long Latin inscription.
In the same chancel is the monument of Edward Fowler, bishop of Gloucester, with the following inscription:
" To the pious memory of the Right Rev. Edward Fowler, D. D. late Lord Bishop of Gloucester, to which station he was advanced by King William, in the year 1691, for his known steadiness to the true interests of the church of England, and of his country, in limes of danger. He approved himself worthy of that dignity by a faithful and diligent discharge of his pastoral office, till disabled by age and bodily infirmities, he rested from his labours, and was in the 82nd year of his age admitted to partake of his reward. He departed this life August 26, 1714, and was interred in the grave of his first wife within this church, leaving behind him, in excellent treatises, published by himself, lasting monuments of learning, judgment, piety, and Christian temper of mind. He was twice married: first to Ann, daughter of Arthur Barnardiston, of the Inner Temple, Esq. one of the masters of Chancery; she departed this life December 19, 1696. He had by her three sons, Nathaniel, Edward, and Richard; and five daughters, Anne, Anne, Susanna, Elizabeth, and Mary, of which Edward and Richard, Susan and Mary, survived him. His second wife, who likewise survived him, was Elizabeth, widow of the Rev. Dr. Hezekiah Burton, and daughter of Ralph Trevor of London, Merchant."
Upon the tomb of Dr. James Parsons, in the church-yard, is the following inscription:
"Here (taken from his sorrowing family and friends, by the common lot of frail mortality) rests James Parsons, D. M. F. R. S. and S. of A. M. C. P. a man in whom the most dignifying virtues were united with talents the most numerous and rare; firm and erect in conscious conviction, no consideration could move him to desert truth, or acquiesce to her opponents. Physic, anatomy, natural history, antiquities, languages, and the fine arts, are largely indebted to his skill and industry, in each, for many important truths discovered in their support, or errors detected with which they were obscured; yet, though happy beyond the general race of mankind in mental endowments, the sincere Christian, the affectionate husband, the generous and humane friend, were in him superior to the sage the scholar, and the philosopher. Obiit April 4th, 1770, in the 66th year of his age"
In 1681 Robert Daniel left, by his will, 2000l. to be laid out in purchase of lands tor the erection and endowment of an Almshouse, within 12 miles of London, for the support of six poor men and four poor women. The pensioners were to be 50 years of age, at the least, to be allowed 3s. a week each, and a loaf at Christmas, and to be clothed. A freehold estate in Oxfordshire was purchased with the money, and by a decree in Chancery, anno 1727, the house was ordered to he built at Hendon.
There is a good Charity School in this parish, in which about 80 children are educated and clothed.
