Hockley is a large village in Essex in the East of England located between Rayleigh and Rochford. Notable buildings in the village include the church of St Peter and Paul, which has a nave which was possibly built before the twelfth century. The town grew with the arrival of the railway towards the end of the 19th century and contains lots of outdoor space such as Hockley Woods.
