From the Wikipedia article
Little Grove, originally Danegrove, was a house and estate that once existed in East Barnet on high ground north of London and to the south of Cat Hill. The original house on the site dated from at least the mid-sixteenth century. In 1719, it was demolished and replaced with a house known as New Place but the property soon returned to the name of Little Grove. That house was demolished in 1932 to make way for a housing development and primary school known as Littlegrove.

Background
History
A house had stood on the site since at least the 16th century. David Pam dates the construction of the house to 1553. The court rolls of the manor record that William Copwood of Totteridge disposed of some part of Danegrove, or what it then was composed of, to David Woodroffe, citizen and haberdasher of London (died 1563), who as sheriff oversaw the execution of two protestant martyrs in 1555 and was criticised for the cruelty of his methods. Woodroffe's wife Elizabeth took a life interest in the property following her husband's death but surrendered Danegrove (9 acres) and Daneland (12 acres) to other members of the Woodroffe family. of Holborn, c. 1860s.]]
