The tower was built as part of the medieval church of St Mary when Hornsey was a small rural village in Middlesex. The lower part of the tower is medieval, and was probably completed around 1500.
Vision Statement
The Long View Working Group (LVWG) has been set up as a representative group from the wider Hornsey community to:
• Ensure the future physical existence of St Mary’s Tower Hornsey which needs on-going repair and development
• Make the Hornsey community aware of its existence and long history
• Bring the Tower and its lovely open spaces into greater use for the benefit of everyone in our multi-cultural, multi-faith community
• Generate a passion for the future of this ancient environment and ensure it becomes a landmark of Hornsey and its community hub
The LVWG works closely with Hornsey Parish Church (St Mary with St George) and the Friends of Hornsey Church Tower (FoHCT) to preserve and promote St Mary’s Tower Hornsey
