These crocuses are on a small green next to Church Hill Road near St Mary's Church, East Barnet. Beyond the main road is Oak Hill Park. Oak Hill House was built in 1790 in the grounds of an older mansion called ‘Le Monkefrieth’ which had been there since 1273. Its name meant the monks woodland but Monkfrith was demolished in 1937. Oak Hill is now a theological college. Oak Hill Woods date back to at least the eleventh century, when it was owned by the church. After the dissolution of the Monasteries it was sold in 1536-38 and remained in private ownership until it was bought by East Barnet Council in 1930. Oak Hill Park was established in 1933. The Pymme's Brook runs through the park.
