Context
Administrative/Biographical history:
The parish of Saint Michael-at-Bowes was formed in 1874 as a consolidated chapelry out of the parishes of Southgate and Saint Michael's, Wood Green. The church was designed by the architect, Sir Gilbert Scott, and built and endowed by Alderman Thomas Sidney of Bowes Manor who presented the first vicar. The church ran the mission churches of Saint Peter Bounds Green, Saint Mary the Virgin Tottenhall and also one in Tile Kiln Lane.
The Kiln Lane National School was founded in 1866. It was replaced in 1896 by Saint Michael's National School, Bowes Park, which opened in Tottenhall Road with accommodation for 377 children in mixed and infants departments. The school, later renamed Saint Michael-at-Bowes Church of England Primary School, was rebuilt in 1972.
