The very first record of Buckhurst Hill is in 1135, when reference was made to 'La Bocherste', becoming in later years 'Bucket Hill', historically describing a hill with lots of beech trees. It lay in Epping Forest and consisted of only some scattered homes along the old road from Woodford to Loughton. Before the building of the railways, Buckhurst Hill was on the stage coach route between London and Cambridge, Norwich, Bury St Edmunds and Dunmow. Traditionally it was part of the parish of Chigwell; there was no road which connected the 2 communities and in order to get to church, parishioners had to ford the River Roding at Woodford. The establishment of Buckhurst Hill Station in 1856 saw a rapid expansion in the population of the area, with roughly six hundred new houses having been built near the station by 1871.
