Theydon Garnon

Theydon Garnon is a village and civil parish in the Epping Forest district, in the county of Essex, England. The parish also includes the hamlet of Hobbs Cross.

History

Also recorded as Thoydon Garnon and Coopersale, [1] "Theydon" is thought to mean 'valley where thatch (material) grows' [2] and "Garnon" derives from the Gernon family. [3] A weekly market and annual fair was granted to Theydon Garnon in 1305. [3] A workhouse operated in the parish from around 1704. [4]

By 1851 the parish's population had reached 1,237. Epping Union Workhouse was in Theydon Garnon; it and Epping station also opened within the parish in 1865, but was included in the newly formed Epping Urban District in 1896, along with the village of Coopersale and the hamlets of Coopersale Street, and Fiddler's Hamlet. [3] [5] The reduction in the parish's size led to a reduction in population, down to 317 in 1901. [3]
