The earliest mention of Romford in the records is in 1177, as Romfort. This is likely a spelling error on the part of the person that recorded the name, though. The name comes from two old English words ‘rum’ and ‘ford’, and means “the wide or spacious ford”. The naming of the River Rom dates to after the naming of the town and is likely the local term for the river that stuck.
Sadly the ford that the town is named after has been lost. But it likely existed on the main Colchester to London road where it crosses the river.
Romford developed directly on this road from London to Colchester. It was a very important trading route, so traders likely set up along the road to sell their wares to travellers. While this was certainly the first settlement known as Romford, the town has actually moved over time. The original town was in the Oldchurch area, and it has moved northwards over time to avoid frequent flooding of the River Rom.
Romford has grown significantly since it was first recorded in 1177. From a small settlement in Oldchurch to a beautiful medieval market town. There are clues to Romford’s past wherever you look.
