Tottenham
At the time that Fr Thomas Roberts served at All Hallows as Vicar, Tottenham was, essentially, the High Road and not much else. It has been remarked, from a review of the church registers, that Tottenham came to be regarded as "something of a fashionable place in which to marry—a high proportion of the entries, right up until 1837, are for well-to-do outsiders, some from surprisingly far away."
