Cohen's Fields

MAIN HEATH

Cohen's Fields consist of an upper and lower field.

The upper field slopes down from The Pagoda, just outside the Kenwood House Stable Gate, and meets the hedgerow border of the Athlone House gardens on its one side and Millfield Lane and the Goodison Fountain at its bottom end.

The lower field is entered through a small cutting in the hedgeway, about halfway down the Athlone House side of the upper field and this part runs behind and parallel to Millfield Lane as far as the bottom of the path leading from Millfield Lane to Highgate Gate.


The fields were named after Robert Waley-Cohen, a charismatic notary, formerly Chairman of British Shell and who resided at Caen Wood Towers (Athlone House).

In the 1920s, he was a prominent member of The Kenwood Preservation Society and Cohen's Fields once belonged to Lord Southampton.
