Welcome to this Heritage Trail, which takes a short stroll back in time around some of Rochford’s central and historically significant locations. This gives just a flavour of the varied stories from the past of this ancient market town that was recorded in the Domesday Book of 1086
The Old House is a fine example of timber-framed buildings and is the oldest secular building in this area. The greater part of the original beamwork remains. The middle section dates back to 1270 when King Henry III reigned. It was this king who, in 1247, gave Guy of Rochford permission to hold a market in the town square.
