Here are some interesting local historical facts:

Highwood was first identified separately from its parent manor of Hendon in the 14th century and became a fashionable country retreat during the 17th and 18th centuries.  From 1713 to 1737 the diarist and traveller Celia Fiennes lived at Highwood Ash.  Highwood House was bought in 1825 by Sir Stamford Raffles, the founder of Singapore and the London Zoological Society. He lived here for only a year before he died but Lady Raffles stayed on until her own death in 1858.  An older house on the estate had been the residence of Rachel, Lady Russell, whose husband was executed for conspiring to murder Charles II. The adjacent Hendon Park estate was the 140-acre property of William Wilberforce, the anti-slavery campaigner.
