Whitchurch, London

Whitchurch is a locality in Edgware, in the London Borough of Barnet, England. Historically part of Middlesex, the parish is also known as Little Stanmore. [ [http://www.little-stanmore.org/ Website of Church] accessed 08.03.2008] It is famous for its baroque church of St Lawrence, which houses an early eighteenth-century organ played by Handel and restored in the 1990s to its original condition. In the churchyard is a tombstone to William Powell, supposedly "The Harmonious Blacksmith" who inspired one of Handel's keyboard works.
