Rochford is a town in the Rochford district of Essex in the East of England. It is about 43 miles (69 km) from Central London and approximately 21 miles (34 km) from Chelmsford, the County Town of Essex. According to the 2001 census the civil parish of Rochford, which includes the town proper, and London Southend Airport, had a population of 7,610, increasing to 8,471 at the 2011 Census.^[1]

St Andrew's Church, Rochford, is close to Rochford Hall, and is part of Rochford Deanery,^[10] within the Bradwell Area^[11] of the Church of England Diocese of Chelmsford.^[12]

Rochford Congregational Church has been part of the local community since 1750. The Congregational Church also established the first Dissenting School in the area; When others were afraid of educating the children of the lower classes because they might prove a danger to the state, the church ensured that ordinary people had "a plain and useful education." ^[13]

Rochford Methodist Church, near the White Horse Public House. The Methodists have been in Rochford since 1822, originally meeting in a building where Market Alley turns into the Square. In 1841 they moved to a new building in North Street near Weir Pond Road, and in 1880 they moved to their current premises.^[14]

Rochford Community Church was founded in 1987 and meets at The Freight House near the railway station.^[15]

There is also a small Roman Catholic church in Rochford, St Teresa of the child Jesus.^[16]
