Trent Park

The registration was made on 1 October 1987 as list entry 1000484. The land was part of the royal hunting forest of Enfield Chase until an Act of Parliament of 1777 divided and disafforested it; the lease was granted about 1780 to Sir Richard Jebb, physician to George III, and Sir William Chambers converted an old Chase lodge into a villa called Trent Place. Historic England's register entry puts the park at about 700 acres by the mid-19th century and the whole estate at about 3,000 acres, with a seven-mile ride around the perimeter. Camlet Moat was first scheduled on 22 March 1949 over 0.72 hectares and Historic England calls it 'a fine example of a medieval moated site which survives well'. Trent Park House is Grade II, NHLE 1078931. Garden and sculptural features carry their own Grade II entries: the obelisk on the west side of Moat Wood, NHLE 1358677, the pair of sphinxes on the terrace, NHLE 1079461, the statue of Actaeon, NHLE 1079459, the statue of Venus, NHLE 1260775, and the Wisteria Walk pergola, NHLE 1358746. TfL gives Cockfosters at 1,038 m and Oakwood at 1,084 m from the house.
