<br/>The reserve is very shaded by trees so the flash was absorbed by the dark surfaces The fritillaries are the purple bells

Dist:0.2km north<br/>This is a wildlife reserve but the lake is silting up, so there is a dilemma about dredging and disposal of the detritus. There is a colony of fritillaries

Dist:0.4km north<br/>Barnet's best-kept secret as there are no signs to it from Totteridge Lane. I set off to find the lake after seeing it in the London A-Z.

Dist:0.6km north<br/>Viewed looking towards the A5109 Totteridge Village road. (From a Geograph point of view this image was taken right on the eastern edge of the grid square with the 525000 Easting line passing approximately through the car on the road. Due to cartographic constraints the Ordnance Survey 1:50,000 scale mapping is a little inaccurate here; the subject and photographer locations have been taken from the more accurate 1:10,000 scale mapping.)

Dist:0.6km north<br/>View from west. The tower was built in 1706, the rest was rebuilt in 1790. There has been a church here at least since 1250, and the parish website http://www.totteridge.church.btinternet.co.uk/ says the site may be much older, and may have been significant before Christianity arrived in Britain. There is a yew tree possibly 2000 years old.

Dist:0.7km north<br/>This is a different viewpoint to David's [[132843]]. If you follow the link to the parish website in David's caption there is an image of a painting of the Church from around 1800, which shows the church without the entrance porch on this western end.

Dist:0.7km north<br/>Reminders of Totteridge's agricultural past, the tithe barn and the old village pound can be found just to the north-west of [[957063]]. The tithe barn probably dates from the 18th century, while there is a plaque describing the old village pound as dating from 1560. The old pound is the parcel of land enclosed with a neatly trimmed hedge, in front of, and to the left of, the tithe barn. It is certainly identified and described as a pound on the Ordnance Survey's 6" to the mile map of 1873.
