About

Rochford sits on the River Roach in Essex, a short distance inland from the Thames estuary. The town centre runs along South Street and extends to the area around St Andrew's Church, with a mix of shops, local services and council buildings. Rochford railway station provides links toward Southend and inland; London Southend Airport lies a short drive to the south-east and has shaped recent development and road patterns. Public footpaths follow the river and link the town to surrounding farmland and creek systems.

Canewdon is a village a few miles north-west of Rochford, set on a low ridge above the Dengie marshes. Its parish church, St Nicholas, stands on the high ground and is built largely of flint with a brick tower visible from lanes across the marsh; the hill gives long views over tide channels and salt marsh. The village appears in local records for its long-standing folklore around witches and uncanny sightings, and lanes lead from Canewdon down to Roach-side creeks and grazing marshes.
