Another group of Almshouses on Wood Street, Barnet. The Eleanor Palmer Charity was set up when she died in 1585 leaving two acres of land in Kentish Town for the use of the poor. The gift allowed these almshouses to be built on, what was then, Barnet Common in 1820. They were rebuilt in 1930 with a further two houses being added to the original Six.
