About Fencing in South Ockendon
South Ockendon in Essex appears in the Domesday Book as a manor, and the earliest surviving reference to its moated hall dates from between 1190 and 1225, when a grant supported a chaplain at a chapel there. Building accounts from 1318 describe a hall, kitchen, well and privy on the site, and although the original hall itself had disappeared by the 1970s, its gatehouse wall survived, with medieval stonework at its base and 18th century brickwork above. The parish church nearby retains a richly carved Norman doorway and a round tower dating from this long history. Our directory lists fencing suppliers and installers covering the RM15 postcode area.
