It lay in Epping Forest and included just a handful of scattered houses along the old road from Woodford to Loughton. Prior to the building of the railways, Buckhurst Hill was on the stage coach route in between London and Cambridge, Norwich, Bury St Edmunds and Dunmow. Originally it was part of the parish of Chigwell; there was no road which connected the 2 communities and so as to get to church, residents had to cross the River Roding at Woodford.
