Rochford Town & Canewdon

Rochford Town is a small market town in Essex, located near the River Roach. It serves as the administrative centre of the Rochford District, with a mix of residential areas and local businesses. The town features a historic church, St. Andrew’s, and a high street with independent shops and cafes. Rochford retains a rural feel, with nearby green spaces like Rochford Recreation Ground and easy access to the Essex coastline.

Canewdon, a village just north of Rochford, is known for its historic connections to witchcraft and folklore. The village is home to St. Nicholas Church, which dates back to the 12th century, and offers views over the Crouch Estuary. Canewdon has a quieter, more secluded atmosphere compared to Rochford Town, with farmland and country lanes surrounding the area. Both locations provide a blend of history and countryside, with proximity to larger towns like Southend-on-Sea.
