On the edge of the Glebelands the bole of a dead tree has been carved to depict a highwayman. It forms a memento of the time when highwaymen frequently robbed travellers on the Great North Road as they crossed Finchley Common. Finchley's association with highwaymen is further recalled by 'The Dick Turpin' pub on Long Lane.
