The ParishThe parish of Little Ilford lies in the extreme southwest of Essex, not too far from its border with neighbouring Middlesex. Little ilford is located roughly 7 miles east of the city of London and just south of the A118 road which connects London with Romford. Once Little Ilford was a discrete urban-edge village, early gazetteers describe it as largely arable in its land-use, today this is rather difficult to believe as Greater London expanded with the railway development eastwards engulfing smaller Essex communities like Little Ilford along the way. Much of the development came towards the end of the 19th century and into the 20th and continues to this day with modern apartment blocks replacing elderly Victorian terraces. Only the medieval church in its ancient churchyard survives of the former village centre and modern developments abound, the railway lines to both Colchester & Southend run through to the north and south respectively, whilst the busy dual-carriageway of the North Circular Road runs immediately east. Little Ilford is drained southwards by Barking Creek which soon meets the outer Thames Estuary. Little Ilford is sited at around 5 metres above the sea in fairly gentle terrain where local heights rise to little more than 15 metres for some distance. Little Ilford was a small parish, squeezed between larger ones, covering just over 750 acres it was small even by Essex standards, within that area a population of just under 200 parishioners would have resides, a paltry total compared to today's burgeoning population. Little Ilford is not mentioned in Domesday Book. |
