The history of Hurstbourne
Hurstbourne HISTORY 1 2 3 HISTORY In the making 5 Hurstbourne, number 16 Bishopswood Road, is a grand detached red brick Victorian home. Dating back to 1878, the exterior of the house showcases many of the architectural styles and flourishes of that period, including the Arts and Crafts movement. Illustrious former occupants at number 16 include Archibald V. Hill, who shared the Nobel prize in Physiology or Medicine in 1922. English Heritage will install a blue plaque, on completion of Hurstbourne, in commemoration of Hill s work. Archibald lived at number 16 with his wife, Margaret Hill, the daughter of John Neville Keynes, a prominent figure at Cambridge University and sister to Maynard Keynes, the famous economist. Margaret was a key figure in local politics and set up Hill Homes in 1944, a housing association providing quality homes for elderly people. Margaret s dedication was both nationally and internationally acclaimed and her work was publically recognised in 1957 when she was awarded a CBE. Bishopswood Road falls within The Bishops area of the Highgate Conservation Area and is one of a number of residential streets that are famous for their distinctive properties that reflect the character and high quality design of the Victorian era. 4 6 7 Blue plaques, Nobel prizewinners and links to famous economists, Hurstbourne has an illustrious history. 1.
