Brocus Field noticeboard and Thames Path National Trail sign. The Brocas gets its name from Sir John de Brocas, who acquired this and much other land in the area in the early 1300s. King Edward III appointed him Master of the King's Horse and later Chief Forester of Windsor Forest. The Brocas stayed in his family for generations before being given to Eton College.
