Hockley is a large village and civil parish in Essex in the East of England located between Chelmsford and Southend-on-Sea, or, more specifically, between Rayleigh and Rochford.

The tower holds three bells, manufactured by Miles Gray in 1626, by James Bartlett in 1684 and by John Hodgson in 1657, and the building is Grade II* listed.

The building was built as a spa to a design by James Lockyer in 1842, after Robert Clay found a medicinal spring there in 1838.

The excavation found a Roman coin of Domitian and some Saxon pottery which may indicate a secondary burial.

[9] Since 2005, a metal fence has surrounded the mound to protect it from erosion, and a number of trees which were growing on or near it were cut down at the same time.
