Horndon-on-the-Hill may have been the site of an 11th century mint, based on the survival of a single Anglo Saxon penny from Horndon.
Horndon-on-the-Hill is one of seven conservation areas in Thurrock[1]. It is the site of the 15th century woolmarket.
It has a primary school, a recreational park and is also known for the two Public Houses - The Swan and The Bell.
