Dancers Hill is a tiny, rural hamlet in the north of Middlesex, to the south of Potters Bar and close to the border of Hertfordshire, a mile to the west. The hamler is immediately south of the route of the M25 motorway.
The disputed manor of Mandeville was said to lie on the hill and to be part of the manor of South Mimms.[1]
Dancers Hill is now best known for the grade II listed Dancers Hill House (c. 1750-60)[2] and for Dancers Hill Road which runs between St Albans Road in the west and Ganwick Corner in the west by way of Bentley Heath. The road is joined by Baker Street on its north side and Kitts End Road on its south side. Dancers Lane runs north from Dancers Hill Road past Dancers Hill House before joining Wash Lane.
Dancers Hill Farmhouse, in Dancers Lane, is also Grade II listed[3] as are the Green Dragon public house (c.1830) in St Albans Road[4] and the nearby bridge over the Mimmshall Brook.[5]
