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.
