Friern Barnet was an ancient parish in the Finsbury division of Ossulstone hundred (division), in the county of Middlesex.

The area was originally considered to be part of Barnet, most of which was in Hertfordshire. By the thirteenth century the Middlesex section of Barnet was known as "Little Barnet", before becoming "Frerenbarnet" and then "Friern Barnet" (in the past also sometimes spelt in other ways, such as "Fryern Barnett"). The "Friern" part of the parish's name derives from the French for "brother", and refers to the medieval lordship of the Knights Hospitaller.[http://www.british-history.ac.uk/report.aspx?compid=22490 ''Friern Barnet: Introduction'', Victoria County History of Middlesex: Volume 6, (British History Online) accessed January 24, 2008][http://www.barnet.gov.uk/archives-finchleyhistories ''Finchley and Friern Barnet'', Barnet Online, accessed January 24, 2008]

Friern Barnet was mainly rural until the nineteenth century. The opening of Colney Hatch pauper lunatic asylum in 1851, and of railway stations on the Great Northern Railway (Great Britain) and Metropolitan Railways, also in the middle of the nineteenth century, began its development as an outer London suburb. This process was accelerated by the arrival of electric trams in 1909.

Local affairs were administered by the parish vestry until 1875, when it was grouped with neighbouring parishes as part of Barnet sanitary district. In response to a petition by local ratepayers who wished the area to be removed from the Barnet RSD, the parish adopted the Local Government Act 1858 and formed a local board of health of nine members in 1884. Under the Local Government Act 1894 the local board's area became an Urban district (Great Britain and Ireland).''Friern Barnet - Local Government'' in ''Victoria County History of Middlesex'', Vol.6, (British History Online), accessed January 24, 2008 The urban district occupied an area of in 1911 and had a population of 14,924. In 1961 it occupied an area of and the population was 28,813. In 1965 it became part of the London Borough of Barnet. Friern Barnet is an area within the London Borough of Barnet.

Housing

The housing in this area typically consists of late Victorian architecture and early Edwardian architecture properties as well as other large houses from later periods and many smaller semi-detached and terraced houses. Much of the property is owner-occupied, but in recent years many of the larger properties have been subdivided into flats and bedsits. There are also some areas of modern housing, notably Princess Park Manor, a luxury redevelopment of the once-famous Victorian institution the Colney Hatch Lunatic Asylum. England footballer Ashley Cole met his future wife, pop singer Cheryl Cole, when both owned apartments at this development,bandmate Kimberley Walsh also lives in Friern Barnet.

Friern Village
Adjacent to Princess Park Manor is a modern housing development called Friern Village. This was once the area farmed by the Colney Hatch Hospital residents. In 1998 the newly formed local residents' association held a ballot amongst the new residents to find a name for this new area. The name Friern Village was chosen and subsequently the resident's association changed its name to The Friern Village Residents' Association. A new public park in front of Princess Park Manor, Friern Barnet Road, was also named Friern Village Park. Friern Barnet is an area within the London Borough of Barnet.
