EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, taken in the year 1842, showcases the magnificent St Mary's Church tower and beacon in Monken Hadley, Barnet, north London. Known as the Beacon Church, this architectural masterpiece dates back to the early 16th century when the tower and fire beacon were added. The crenellated tower, adorned with intricate stonework and crenellations, stands proudly against the backdrop of a clear blue sky. The men in the foreground, dressed in typical attire of the early Victorian era, add a sense of history and context to the scene. The beacon, a high point for signaling fires or other emergencies, was a vital part of the community's early warning system. The addition of the beacon to the church tower not only served a practical purpose but also enhanced the church's defensive capabilities during times of conflict. The intricate details of the stonework on the tower and the surrounding buildings are a testament to the exceptional craftsmanship of the time. The photograph captures the essence of the 1840s, offering a glimpse into the past and the rich history of Monken Hadley and its Beacon Church.
