The Priory in Church Lane, is the last remaining Jacobean house in Tottenham. It has had many lives and many people have lived there - however, none are quite as significant as Joseph Fenton, the Barber Surgeon for whom it was built in 1620, who from humble beginnings became a distinguished figure in the medical establishment of the City of London and whose legacy is still alive today.
