Canewdon
Canewdon is a village in north Rochford District of Essex in England, approximately 4 miles northeast of the town of Rochford. Canewdon is situated on one of the highest hills of the Essex coastline from which St. Nicholas church affords wide views of the Crouch estuary. Canewdon parish extends for several miles on the southern side of the River Crouch. East of the village, lies the island of Wallasea, popular for sailing, and a wetland sanctuary for wildlife.
The name Canewdon derived from the Saxon 'hill of the Cana's people' and not, as is sometimes claimed, from Canute the Great.
