This is from Wikipedia, with thanks:- "Goldhawk Road's name derives from John Goldhawk, who in the late 14th century held extensive estates in Fulham. Goldhawk Road was of little note until the mid-seventeenth century, when a cottage on the street became the home of Miles Sindercombe, a disgruntled Roundhead who in 1657 made several attempts to assassinate Oliver Cromwell. Sindercombe planned to ambush the Lord Protector using a specially built machine with muskets fixed to a frame. His plan failed, Sindercombe was sentenced to death, and his cottage was eventually demolished in the 1760s." https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Goldhawk_Road
