Near by may have lived John atte Stone (1282MxRec ), John Stute de Stone (1548 ib.).It was perhaps originally a boundary mark separating Harrow Weald from the rest of Harrow parish. The growth of the place dates from the opening of the London and Birmingham railway in 1838, before which date there were only a few houses here.
