Domestic Cleaning Buckhurst Hill IG9

The first mention of Buckhurst Hill comes from 1135 under the name La Bocherste. The name later changed to Bucket Hill. It means “hill with beech trees”. The early settlement was in Epping Forest and numbered only a few houses most of them along the Woodford to Loughton route. This East London area was part of the stagecoach road between London and the neighboring areas. St John’s Church was built in 1838 and Buckhurst Hill became an individual parish in 1867. The lord of the manor donated land next to the church which allowed the construction of the St John’s National School. The building of the school costed £209.

The suburban town Buckhurst Hill developed in 1856 thanks to the opening of a railway line. Six hundred houses were built by 1871 around the station. Prince’s Road school was established in 1872.
