about Hockley
Hockley is a town in Essex, England located between Chelmsford and Southend-on-Sea and is included in the Domesday Book of 1066. It came to prominence during the coming of the railway in the 1890's and has a population of around 10,000 people where many are commuters to London.
Hockley is an Old English name meaning a woodland clearing belonging to a man called Hocca and today there is still a large wooded area named Hockley woods. Notable buildings in the town include the St Peter and Paul twelfth century church with octagonal tower and a Victorian spa pump room which is a listed building.
Hockley is also home of a burial mound which was excavated in 1913. The excavation found a Roman coin and some Saxon pottery which may indicate a secondary burial. The oval mound is 4 metres high and has a flattened tip. Currently it is surrounded by a metal fence to protect the site from cyclists.
