"HOCKLEY, a parish in the hundred of ROCHFORD,
county of ESSEX, 2¼ miles (N. E. by N.) from Rayleigh,
containing 784 inhabitants. The living is a discharged
vicarage, in. the archdeaconry of Essex, and diocese of
London, rated in the king's books at £16. 3. 9., and
in the patronage of the Warden and Fellows of Wadham
College, Oxford. The church, dedicated to St. Peter, is
of Norman architecture, with a massive octagonal tower
surmounted by a shingled spire; it is supposed to have
been erected by Canute and Turldl, in commemoration of
their victory over Edmund Ironside. The Crouch river
is navigable along the northern boundary of the parish.
There is a very large barrow in the neighbourhood." [From Samuel Lewis A Topographical Dictionary of England (1831) - copyright Mel Lockie 2016]
