Encyclopedia Britannica - Main :: HIG-HOR
HORNSEY , a municipal borough in the Hornsey parliamentary division of
Middlesex
 , England, suburban to London, 6 m. N. of St Paul's
Cathedral
 , on the
Great
  Northern railway. Pop. (1891) 44,523; (1901) 72,056. It is chiefly occupied by small residences of the working classes. The manor, called in the 13th century Haringee (a name which survives as Harringay), belonged from an early date to the see of London, the bishops having a seat here. In 1387 the duke of
Gloucester
 , uncle of Richard II., assembled in Hornsey Park the forces by the display of which he compelled the king to dismiss his minister de la
Pole
 ,
earl
  of Suffolk; and in 1483 the park was the
scene
  of the ceremonious reception of
Edward
  V., under the charge of Richard, duke of
Gloucester
 , by Edmund Shaw, lord mayor of London. The parish
church
  of St Mary, Hornsey, retains its Perpendicular tower (c. 15oo) and a number of interesting monuments. Finsbury Park, of 120 acres, and other smaller public grounds, are within the borough. Hornsey was incorporated in 1903 under a mayor, 10 aldermen and 30 councillors. Area, 2875 acres.
