	Arnos Grove and the Walker Family (2008) Author : Ruby Galili ISBN-13 9780905494098	This book recounts the early history of the Walker Family of Arnos Grove. In 1777 Isaac Walker, a Quaker cloth merchant of Cornhill, bought Arnos Grove with its exceptional painted hall and 250 acres of parkland. His descendants were to live there for a century and a half. They were philanthropic landowners who made considerable charitable gifts to the people of Southgate and were heavily involved in local enterprises. Despite being Quakers, Isaac, his wife Elizabeth, his son John and daughter Elizabeth lived as members of the gentry; they had many carriages and horses, invested in enterprises like the New River and the Smallpox hospital, had fine collections of paintings, silverware and minerals. They improved the grounds of their park with several rare trees and plants and bought other local estates which came up for sale. The probable source of their wealth is a surprise, given their religious background. Ruby Galili was led into researching the Walker family upon finding that her own suburban terraced house was on land that had once belonged to the family. After teaching history in a Haringey comprehensive school for some thirty years she retired to research local history but has the background to relate the local history to a wider context. This book is intended to be the first of three to relate the story of this remarkable family.	£9.00	£1.00	£10.00
