Pole Hill
Pole Hill is a geographical feature on the border between Greater London and Essex. From its summit there is an extensive view over much of east, north and west London, although in the summer the leaves of the trees in Epping Forest have a tendency to mask some of the visibility to the north and west. ==Origin of name==
The earliest recording of the name is as "Pouls Fee" or "Pauls Fee" in 1498. It is shown as Hawke Hill on the Chapman and André map of 1777. Hawke derives from the nearby Hawkwood. Hawk is the Old English for a nook, cranny or corner and so means wood at the corner of the parish (of Chingford.) It was named Paul because it was in the manor of Chingford Pauli, also known as Chingford St. Paul's, which belonged to St Paul's Cathedral in London. Fee is from the Middle English ''fe'' which means a landed estate indicating it formed part of the manor. After the erection of the Greenwich Meridian Obelisk mentioned below, it appears to have acquired the cognomen of Polar Hill, but this soon dropped out of use.〔Some Chingford Field Names by A.J.
