Highbury Hospital
Highbury is a district in North London and part of the London Borough of Islington in Greater London that was owned by Ranulf brother of Ilger and included all the areas north and east of Canonbury and Holloway Roads. The manor house was situated by what is now the east side of Hornsey Road near the junction with Seven Sisters Road.

During the construction of a new Highbury House in 1781, tiles were found that could have been Roman or Norman; however, these have been lost.
