History
Cranham was historically also known as Bishop's Ockendon. The ancient parish boundaries were sub-triangular, and elongated north-south with an extreme length of 3.5 miles (5.6 km). The southern boundary was about 1.5 miles (2.4 km) across, but the parish tapered to a northern boundary that was only 5/8 mile (1 km) long.
Originally Cranham was a small village and its only industry has been a brick works in the late 19th and early 20th centuries located in its east-central part, with a railway spur; the area is now a large public open space called the "Brick Fields" and the moderately sized, coppiced wood of oak and hornbeam adjoins this area to its east is called Frank's Wood, although is known locally as the "Bluebell Wood" because of its spectacular flowering in Spring.
From 1894 the Cranham parish formed part of the Romford Rural District of Essex. In 1934 the parish was enlarged by gaining North Ockendon and Romford Rural District was abolished. The enlarged parish then formed part of Hornchurch Urban District, with a small part to the north, near Great Warley, transferred to Brentwood Urban District. Cranham parish and Hornchurch Urban District were abolished in 1965 and their former area was transferred to Greater London, to form part of the present-day London Borough of Havering. Romford Rural District was a local government district in south west Essex from 1894 to 1934. ...
