St Mary the Virgin, East Barnet

The church features a yellow brick Neo-Norman tower, a south aisle made of Kentish ragstone, and an internal arched arcade replacing the original south wall.

St Mary the Virgin was established by Benedictine monks from St Albans Abbey in 1080, with the north wall remaining as the only surviving part of the original structure.

The church maintains its role as the central Church of England parish for East Barnet, continuing royal patronage traditions established after the Protestant Reformation.

Located on Church Hill with a 180-foot spire, the church provides ramp access, accessible toilets, and parking facilities within 250 meters of the building.

The lychgate, rebuilt in 1991, displays an inscription reading 'Both High and Low, Rich and Poor together,' reflecting the church's community commitment.
