ℹ️ Cockfosters / Trent Park:
The ‘fosters’ part of the name is apparently derived from an Elizabethan-era variant of the word forester while ‘cock’ is a old word for leader or chief. Cockfosters, then, literally means the home of the chief or head forester.
The modernist Tube station, part of the northern extension to the Piccadilly lined, was designed by Charles Holden and opened in 1933, is a key landmark as is the stately, Grade II-listed property [Trent Park](http://www.trentcountrypark.com/) which is located on a remnant of Enfield Chase.
Trent Park dates back to the fourteenth century when it was a part of Enfield Chase, one of Henry IV’s hunting grounds. In 1777 George III leased the site to Sir Richard Jebb, his favourite doctor, as a reward for saving the life of the King’s younger brother, the then Duke of Gloucester. Jebb chose the name Trent, because it was in Trent, Italy, that the King’s brother had been saved.
