    Winchmore Hill is a district in the Borough of Enfield, north London, in the N21 postal district.

    The earliest recorded mention of Winchmore Hill is in a deed dated A.D. 1319 in which it is spelt Wynsemerhull. In Old English, 'merhull' translates according to the Concise Oxford Dictionary of English Place Names as 'boundary hill'. It might be speculated that the overall title could mean 'Wynsige's boundary hill'. By 1395 the name had been altered to Wynsmerhull and by 1565 the village was known as Wynsmorehull, becoming Winchmore Hill by the time it was mentioned in state papers in 1586.

    At the heart of the area is Winchmore Hill Green and it is close to this that Winchmore Hill United Reformed Church can be found.

    Winchmore Hill United Reformed Church – or “The Church By The Bridge” - has come a long way since it started life over 250 years ago in 1742. Its history is complex and the first structure was a modest, wooden chapel, erected on nearby ground then known as Wood Corner.

    Having been known under a number of names, including the Independent Church and then later as the Congregational Church, it became part of the United Reformed Church in 1972 when the Congregational and Presbyterian Churches of England joined together.

    For further reading, herewith some pertinent extracts from “Fond Memories Of Winchmore Hill” by Alan Dumayne – a former member of the Church.

    “The facts relating to the origins of the Independent Church in Winchmore Hill are a little uncertain. There is no doubt, however, that the establishment of an Independent Chapel at Wood Corner, as a house of worship, was second only to the Friends Meeting House in Church Hill.”
