Ludgrove Hall

Today the property has been overtaken by the suburbs of North London, and is situated on Games Road, Cockfosters, on the edge of Monken Hadley Common.

Additional buildings have since been constructed in the grounds.Following compulsory purchase it was used as residential accommodation for students at Trent Park College of Education in 1960s and 70s.

[3] Having been sold by the crown, the estate of Ludgrove was later owned by Sir Roger Wilbraham who in 1612 built almshouses in the village of Monken Hadley.

[9] Pupils at Ludgrove Hall included Osbert Sitwell, John Dunville VC, and Prince Alexander of Yugoslavia.

[10] Ex-pupil Alistair Horne wrote an unflattering account of his time at the school in the 1930s in which he described "humbug, snobbery and rampant, unchecked bullying" which he thought was intended to toughen the boys up.
