A short history of RM13

A hoard of 453 metal objects from between 900 and 800 BC was found in Rainham in 2018. The Domesday Book of 1086 records the place as Raineham, probably meaning the homestead of a man called Regna. The Church of St Helen and St Giles, listed Grade I, is the one medieval building still standing. In the 1500s local trades amounted to a boat-builder and a tannery. Trade increased with the 1720s redevelopment of the wharf so Rainham Hall was built. The hall is listed Grade II* as are its stable block and lodge. Factories arrived from 1869 and the Murex iron-founders moved in 1917. Rainham joined Hornchurch Urban District in 1934. South Hornchurch took its name from later housing development on farmland and the former RAF Hornchurch site. A council estate was built on Mardyke Farm land in 1964.
