The area known as Oakwood Park was originally part of Enfield Chase. Following the Norman Conquest, William I divided the land amongst his followers and the Manor of Enfield (which included Enfield Chase) was given to Geoffrey de Mandeville, a powerful Norman baron. In the middle of the 12th century, the third generation of Mandevilles became Earls of Essex. The grand daughter of the first earl married Humphrey de Bohun and Enfield Chase became the property of the prominent de Bohun family. The name de Bohun is still visible today, for example De Bohun Primary School.
