Etymology

The association of this stream in the Eyre Roll with Winwick and Old Weston makes it practically certain that here we have a name connected with the Cockbrook found in this name and in Cockbrook Farm, Lane and Spinney in the neighbouring Brington parish. The brook is the now nameless stream which flows by Old Weston and the bridge must be the one which crosses it at that village. The etymology is obscure.
