The site of the Black House | 800 – 802 High Road
The two buildings in existence today once sat in the garden of the Black Houses – owned by the Henningham Family in the 16th century. George Henningham was a member of the Royal Court and a cousin of Anne Boleyn. It is said that an inscription in a bedroom recorded that King Henry VIII once stayed here as a guest of Henningham
No. 800 had the largest plot of the entire Northumberland Terrace and no. 802 has had a history of famous inhabitants. John Arthur Percival Barnes, a physician and surgeon, lived here in 1900 as did Andre Rostrant and his sone Leonard, also prominent physicians, and surgeons. Both building facades have been restored by Tottenham Hotspur with funding from the London Borough of Haringey
