"A village on an eminence on the south side of the vale of the navigable river Crouch, four miles north-north-east of Rochford, commands a fine view over the vale, and of the battlefield of Ashingdon, where Canute the Dane contended with Edmund Ironside, and is said to have given his name to the place, where he kept his court." (from 'Survey of the Rochford Hundred in Essex 1866-67')
