Former residents include poets Coleridge and Housman and revolutionary Ho Chi Minh. Comic actor Peter Sellers and poet & conservationist John Betjeman both grew up in the area. The Old Schoolhouse was built in 1848 by the Rector as the Infants' school, and is the N8 area's oldest building after Hornsey Old Church.
