Drayton Green

Marked thus on Gary's map of 1786 and on the Ordnance Survey map of 1822, named from ‘Drayton’ 1387, ‘Dreyton’ 1494, that is 'farmstead at or near a portage or slope for dragging down loads', or "farmstead where drays or sledges are used', from Old English ‘drag’ and ‘tun’, with the later addition of ‘grene’ - "village green'. The place lies on land enclosed by a large bend of the River Brent, so the name may refer to the dragging of loads by sledge to and from the river bank or from one bank to another.  A reminder of the former hamlet.  An unexciting recreation ground.   Green bought by the council in the early 1900s.
