Mossford Green

Mossford Green. Marked thus on the Ordnance Survey map of 1883, but as ‘Moss foot Green’ on earlier maps of 1777 and 1805, so possibly it means 'mossy foot (of a hill)', from Old English ‘mos’ and ‘fot’, with ‘grene’ for  'village green'. Subsumed into Barkingside after the construction of Eastern Avenue. This is the original name of the area.

Holy Trinity, 1840 population growth in the area justified the building of the church.  Built with funding from the Church Commissioners as a resultof a local appeal towards a church, and a site was given by the owners .  of Gayshams Hall. The building still has the character of a country church of the earlier c19.
