The Great Northern Railway’s High Barnet station (1911) This became the Northern Line station and while the infamous steep footpath remains, the position of the station at the very southern limit of the area of Chipping Barnet doesn’t remain.

He founded the Challoner School (a fee-paying grammar school for boys who had not passed their 11+); as well as St Alban’s Catholic Preparatory School as a feeder primary for the Grammar and Challoner schools. 1971 saw its two institutional forebears, Finchley Catholic Grammar School ("Finchley Grammar") and the Challoner School, merge to become Finchley Catholic High School). It was the sister school of the all-girls St Michael’s Catholic Grammar School during the grammar school era. The school started as a private initiative and parents were able to consider allowing their children to remain at school for longer. In a short time demand outgrew accommodation, the school had to extend. An appeal from the pulpit by Canon Parsons began the collection that by Christmas 1928 had produced enough money to purchase a building. Woodside Grange seemed an ideal site for the new school but it took the intervention of the Anglican Bishop of London to complete the purchase. The deal was finalised and the building taken over in September 1929.
