Two roads ran north of Hendon, Ashley Lane (which now runs through the back of Hendon Golf Course) and Holders Hill Road. Much of the land was held by All Souls College in 1597. Dollis Farm was close to where Holders Circus is today on the western side of Holders Hill Road. Jeremy Bentham used the farm as a retreat and rented rooms there from 1788 onwards. The farm existed until the death of the last farmer, Thomas Whiting, in 1930.

Children of school age (5-16) must be in education, either in a school or in elective home education. Our Children Missing from Education (CME) Officers offer advice and support to families about the availability of school places, working alongside colleagues in admissions.
