A Brief History of Theydon Bois
Theydon Bois takes its name from the Old English “Theoden,” meaning village of the people, and “Bois,” from the de Bosco family who owned the manor after the Norman Conquest. The village has roots dating back to at least the Domesday Book of 1086, where it was recorded as part of the manor lands in Essex.

For centuries, it was a small agricultural settlement surrounded by farmland and the edge of Epping Forest. The arrival of the railway in 1865 (now the Central Line of the London Underground) transformed Theydon Bois from a quiet farming community into a desirable commuter village, attracting people who wanted rural charm within easy reach of London.

Despite its proximity to the city, Theydon Bois has retained its village atmosphere, with its village green, cricket matches, traditional pubs, and strong community spirit. Today, it’s regarded as one of Essex’s most attractive commuter villages, balancing history, countryside, and convenience.
