Church End is the original centre of Hendon.
By 1754, Church End consisted of a cluster of small buildings built up around St Mary’s Church including: Church End Farm (later known as Hinge’s and the Model Dairy farm), Church Farm (a mid-17th century building which is the second oldest building in Hendon), the weatherboard Greyhound Inn (built on the site of the old Church House), and a few weatherboarded cottages.
The village, lying away from the main roads, retains something of its original rural character and charm, among estates of sprawling suburban housing.
