Eastcote history
Toponomy
Eastcote was originally recorded as Ascot, one of the three medieval tithings of Ruislip, along with Westcot and Norwood. Norwood, in the north of the parish, became Northwood; Westcot became Westcote; Westcott in the west became Westcott. Eastcotes is the name of the main village in the parish.
Early developments
The Hawtrey family moved to Eastcote around 1525 after Ralph and Winifred Walleston married. A dovecote was built by their son without applying for a licence from the manor. Lady Mary Bankes defended their home in Dorset against the Roundheads in 1643 at the time of the English Civil War. The first Haydon Hall was built in 1630 for Lady Alice, the Dowager Countess of Derby.
Urban development
At the turn of the 20th century, Eastcote was a small community with around 120 cottages and a population of around 600 people. The Metropolitan Railway was extended to Uxbridge from Harrow on the Hill in 1904. The railway halt was rebuilt as a station in 1939. During the Second World War the area was subjected to bombing by the Luftwaffe. 106 bombs fell on the area between September 1940 and May 1941.
