The town of Wickford nestles in a meander of the River Crouch, just north of Basildon in south Essex. Its name, at various times written as Wickeford, Wyckford or Wygford, is Saxon in origin and means 'a sheep farm on a river crossing'. This book provides insight into the town's history and development. It is for local historians and residents.
Essex born and bred, JUDITH WILLIAM's interest in the history of her home county was sparked during her work as a community columnist for local newspapers. She has now written ten local history books, six of them for The History Press. She is a member of a local heritage trust, gives talks to clubs and societies on local history and, for over ten years, has taught a local history leisure course at an adult community college.
