This article appears in Volume V03, Page 414 of the Encyclopedia Britannica.

Encyclopedia Britannica - Main :: BAI-BAR
BARNET , a residential
district
  in the mid or St Albans parliamentary division of
Hertfordshire
 , England; 10 m. N. of London, served by the main line and branches of the Great Northern railway. The three
chief
  divisions are as follows: (1) CIUPPING Or HIGH BARNET, a market town and urban
district
  (Barnet), pop. (1901) 7876. The second epithet designates its position on a hill, but the first is given it from the market granted to the abbots of St Albans to be kept there, by Henry II. Near the town, round a point marked by an obelisk, was fought in 1471 the decisive battle between the houses of
York
  and
Lancaster
 , in which the
earl
  of Warwick fell and the Lancastrians were totally defeated. The town is on the Great North Road, on which it was formerly an important coaching station. A large annual horse and cattle
fair
  is held. (2) EAST BARNET, 2 M. S.E. of Chipping Barnet, has an ancient parish church retaining Norman portions, though enlarged in modern times. Pop. of East Barnet Valley urban district, 10,094. (3) NEW BARNET lies s m. E. by S. from Chipping Barnet.
