About Chafford Hundred
Where to stay in Chafford Hundred
Not every neighbourhood fits every trip — here's what each one is good for.
Chafford Hundred is a housing development in the town of Grays, which sets the terms: the streets are residential, the room supply is thin, and the working choice is whether to base in Grays itself. Grays takes the visitor. The suburb stands north-west of Grays Town Centre, close enough that a single room covers both, and the borough of Thurrock spreads the rest of Essex beyond it.
All Saints' Church, the Church of St Mary the Virgin and Coppid Hall are the named stops on any walk from the door.
About Chafford Hundred
What are the main landmarks in Chafford Hundred?
Three names, and no more. All Saints' Church and the Church of St Mary the Virgin carry the church entries for Chafford Hundred, while Coppid Hall stands as the single secular name the record keeps. A housing development leaves little else.
For anything larger, the visitor drops back into Grays, whose town centre and the wider borough of Thurrock hold what a suburb of this age has not accumulated.
What is the history of Chafford Hundred?
Chafford Hundred was built, not grown. The record describes a housing development and suburb inside the town of Grays, in the borough of Thurrock in Essex, laid out to the north-west of Grays Town Centre. Coppid Hall stands apart from that.
All Saints' Church and the Church of St Mary the Virgin complete a short list of named buildings, and the shortened form Chafford has attached itself to the whole suburb.
