History of our District (EFDC) explains that the first mention of Buckhurst Hill was recorded in 1135 when a reference was made to 'La Bocherste'.  The same area was referred to much later as 'Bucket Hill' meaning a hill covered with Beech trees.  For more information on Epping Forest District check out the useful links page.
