Trent Country Park

History

The earliest known lord of the estate was Esgar, constable to Edward the Confessor (who inherited the land from his ancestors).  The Chase area at this time was known as the park of Enfield or Enfield Wood.

Trent Country Park is one of the few surviving remnants of the once extensive Royal Hunting Forest of Enfield Chase.  Much of the character of the park has changed little since the end of the Chase in 1777.
