**Hadley Hurst** is a [grade II* listed building](/source/Grade_II*_listed_building) on Hadley Common road, in [Monken Hadley](/source/Monken_Hadley), north of [Chipping Barnet](/source/Chipping_Barnet).[1]

## History

The house was reputedly designed by [Christopher Wren](/source/Christopher_Wren) and dates from at least 1707. In 1936 the owner, [Gordon Saunders](/source/Gordon_Saunders), who at different times also lived at [Monkenholt](/source/Monkenholt) and The Chase, sold land adjacent to the house to the local council who created [King George's Field](/source/King_George's_Fields_(Monken_Hadley)) recreation ground. A footpath to the field passes the house on its eastern side. The house is known for the giant [cedar](/source/Cedrus) trees on the Hadley Common side lawn.[2] The house faces south so that the elevation seen from Hadley Common road is actually the rear of the house.
