*************

Pinner is a town in the London Borough of Harrow in northwest London, England, 12 miles (19 km) from Charing Cross. It is also in the historic county of Middlesex.

Pinner was originally a hamlet, first recorded in 1231 as Pinnora,^[3] although the already archaic -ora (meaning 'hill') suggests its origins lie no later than c.900.^[4] The name Pinn is shared with the River Pinn, which runs through the middle of Pinner.

The oldest part of the town lies around the fourteenth-century parish church of St. John the Baptist,^[5] at the junction of the present day Grange Gardens, The High Street and Church Lane. The earliest surviving private dwelling, East End Farm Cottage, dates from the late fifteenth-century.^[6]

The village expanded rapidly between 1923 and 1939 when a series of garden estates, including the architecturally significant Pinnerwood estate conservation area – encouraged by the Metropolitan Railway – grew around its historic core.^[7] It was largely from this time onwards that the area (including Hatch End, which forms the northeastern part of Pinner) assumed much of its present-day suburban character. The area is now continuous with neighbouring suburban districts including Rayners Lane and Eastcote.

Pinner contains a large number of homes built in the 1930s Art Deco style, the most grand of which is the Grade II listed Elm Park Court at the junction of West End Lane and Elm Park Road.

Pinner has had an annual street fair held in May since 1336, when it was granted by Royal Charter by Edward III;.^[8]Pinner is one of few places in the United Kingdom that still holds an annual fair, and it remains popular.

Pinner's St John the Baptist parish church was consecrated in 1321, but built on the site of an earlier Christian place of worship. The west tower and south porch date from the 15th century.^[14]
