Stamford Hill
Encyclopedia
Stamford Hill is a place in the north of the London Borough of Hackney
, England, near the border with Haringey
. It is home to Europe's largest Hasidic Jewish
and Adeni Jewish community.
Stamford Hill is 5.5 miles (8.9 km) NNE
of Charing Cross
.
road of Ermine Street
, on high ground above Stoke Newington
, where it crosses the road from the medieval village of Clopton (the modern Upper
and Lower Clapton
) into Hackney
. By the 18th century, the road was heavily trafficked, including goods wagons pulled by six, or more horses, and this caused the state of the road to deteriorate. The local parishes appealed to Parliament in 1713 for the right to set up a Turnpike Trust
, to pay for the maintenance. Gates were installed at Kingsland
and Stamford Hill to collect the tolls.
Development of the area began around 1800, and many prosperous dwellings were built around Stamford Hill over the next 100 years. The London Road became a busy commercial centre to serve the needs of the burgeoning population. Around 1880, not only were railways serving the area, but this was the point where the tram systems coming north from the city, met the Hackney
tram system, and so it became a busy interchange, with a depot opening in 1873. Electrification commenced in 1902 and by 1924 a service was commenced between Stamford Hill and Camden Town
along Amhurst Park.
Stamford Hill had many eminent Jewish residents, including the Montefiore family. Italian
-born Moses Vita Montefiore (died 1789) was living there in 1763. His son Joseph (died 1804) married Rachel Mocatta, and his grandson Abraham Montefiore (died 1824) married Henrietta whose father, the financier Nathan Meyer Rothschild, lived near the modern Colberg Place from 1818 to 1835. The Montefiores' property a little further south was to be transformed by Abraham's grandson, Claude Montefiore, into Montefiore House school. With the increased development of the area, many distinguished families moved away: in 1842 there were few of the wealthy Jews who had once settled in Hackney. The philanthropist
and abolitionist MP Samuel Morley
had a residence here from about 1860.
From the 1880s, a new influx of Jews
arrived in the area escaping from the poverty
of the East End in Stepney
, and in 1915, the New Synagogue was transferred to Stamford Hill to serve this growing population. In 1926, the Union of Orthodox Hebrew Congregations
was established in Stamford Hill, and this became a magnet for other strictly observant Jews, many fleeing Nazi persecution in the years before World War II
. Also, many Jewish families came to the area from other areas of London, refugees in their own way from bombing and post-war clearances for new housing. One of the early Hasidic leaders in Stamford Hill was the Shotzer Rebbe
. Another notable Jewish resident from 1955 until his death in 2000, was the spiritual head of the Union of Orthodox Hebrew Congregations, Rabbi Chanoch Dov Padwa
.
community estimated by the local council and others to be some 20,000 strong. They comprise around 10% of the overall population in Hackney and are growing at a rate of 5% each year. It is the largest Hasidic community in Europe, and referred to as a square mile of piety, reflecting the many Jewish men seen walking in their distinctive clothes on their way to and from worship. The congregations often represent historical links with particular areas of Eastern Europe in their dress and their worship. Many also retain international links with other congregations around the world. The largest of these congregations is the Satmar
, which has five directly associated synagogues; Belz
is another large community with several synagogues. In the surrounding area there may be over 50 synagogues and many observant Jews in the neighbouring areas of Stoke Newington
, Upper Clapton
and Tottenham
identify with Stamford Hill.
A volunteer emergency response first-aid service called Hatzola (the Hebrew word for rescue) and a volunteer community watch group called Shomrim
(the Hebrew word for watchmen) are run by, and largely for, the Jewish community. The need for dietary observance means that Stamford Hill has a large number of shops selling specifically Kosher food.
The orthodox Jewish community relies mostly on private education for schooling, with almost all Jewish children attending Jewish private schools which are segregated between boys and girls. In 2005, however, the Stamford Hill Yesodey Hatorah Senior Girls' School achieved voluntary-aided status. The school has made headlines several times, most recently when some of its pupils refused to study Shakespeare due to his alleged anti-Semitic views and the school's principal, Rabbi Abraham Pinter
saluted the girls for having pride in their beliefs.
Haredi families on average have 5.9 children, almost 2.5 times the average for England and Wales, and many families live in overcrowded flats. National planning regulations are applied by the local council, prohibiting "excess" development of family housing. This has led to conflict between the council and the Jewish population, represented by the Union of Orthodox Hebrew Congregations
. Agudas Israel Housing Association
is active in developing housing for the Jewish community in Stamford Hill.
There is also a notable population of Yemenite Jews
, especially Adeni Jews
who originated in the port city of Aden
in Yemen
. They settled in Stamford Hill after fleeing the inter-community violence at the end of the Aden Protectorate
. The Adeni Congregation synagogue (Nahalat Yosef, named after the original Adeni synagogue in Yemen). A new synagogue has been built, modelled on the original synagogue. Adeni Jews tend to consider themselves a different ethnicity to other Yemeni Jews, due to differences in traditions, prayers (pronunciation) and customs that have evolved under British rule. In recent years, many have moved to Southgate
and Hendon
.
. The data table shows ONS Census data for the wards around Stamford Hill, where respondents indicated a religion:
on 10 September 1894, in two houses called Morecombe Lodge and Burleigh House near Tottenham High Road. In 1907 the College was recognised by the Board of Education and began to receive public money. Notable students of the St Ignatius include Alfred Hitchcock
and Cardinal Heenan. It remained at Stamford Hill as a grammar school until 1968, and then became a two-tier, seven-form entry comprehensive school, the Lower School being located at the old Cardinal Allen School in Enfield, and the Upper School in Stamford Hill. In 1987, even the Upper School moved away from Stamford Hill, when both parts were united in Enfield in the course of a major building programme.
There are also many independent Jewish schools in the area.
