'''Nazeing''' ({{IPA-cen|ˈ|n|eɪ|z|ɪ|ŋ}} {{respell|NAYZ-ing}}<ref>{{Cite web|last=Dockleys|title=Byrneville, Upper Nazeing, EN9|url=https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rZKEEp8l7IU|url-status=live|archive-url=https://ghostarchive.org/varchive/rZKEEp8l7IU|archive-date=2023-07-01|date=2022-03-29|access-date=2023-07-01|website=YouTube}}</ref>) is a village and [[civil parish]] in the [[Epping Forest District|Epping Forest]] district, in [[Essex]], England. Within the parish are the separate settlements of Upper Nazeing, Middle Nazeing, and Lower Nazeing.<ref>{{Cite web|url=http://www.visitoruk.com/Harlow/nazeing-C592-V10767.html|title=Towns and Villages Around Harlow &#124; Nazeing|website=Visitoruk.com|access-date=30 November 2021}}</ref>  The [[Prime Meridian]] passes to the west of Lower Nazeing. It has a population of 4267.
==Location and topography==
Nazeing is approximately four miles north of [[Waltham Abbey (town)|Waltham Abbey]], one mile south-west of [[Harlow]], and is bounded on the west by the [[River Lea]]. Most of it is still rural, but during the past 40 years there has been a considerable development of market gardening, light industry, holiday fishing, and boating. The older village of Nazeing is separated by open farmland from the larger Lower Nazeing<ref>{{Cite web|url=http://www.oneeppingforest.org.uk/documents/LowerNazeing.pdf|title=One Epping Forest is under construction|website=Oneeppingforest.org.uk|access-date=30 November 2021}}</ref> to the west.
The land gradually rises from the river to a small hill and bowl-shaped plateau, about 270&nbsp;ft. above sea level, in the east. Apart from the alluvium by the river, and a strip of gravel a little to the east of it, the soil is [[London Clay]].  Nazeingwood Common<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://www.geograph.org.uk/photo/2552347|title=Geograph:: Nazeingwood Common © Lee Holmes|website=Geograph.org.uk|access-date=30 November 2021}}</ref> covers much of the eastern plateau and was originally part of Waltham Forest, but in the 13th century was deforested for pasture. It was also ploughed up during the [[Second World War]]. From the common a small brook runs west through the middle of the parish.
==History of Nazeing==
===Early===
Potsherds of Iron Age A and fragments of Iron Age pots have been found in Nazeing which show that people have lived
here for more than 2000 years.<ref>{{Cite web|url=http://efdhistory.org.uk/|title=Web Hosting, Reseller Hosting & Domain Names from Heart Internet|website=Efdhistory.org.uk|access-date=30 November 2021}}</ref> Roman remains include burials found in Nazeing Mead, near the river. The original Saxon settlement was probably in the east of the parish, near the church. The position of this village, now called Upper Park Town, may have given Nazeing its name, which means 'settlers on a spur of land'.<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://www.british-history.ac.uk/vch/essex/vol5/pp140-150|title=Nazeing &#124; British History Online|website=British-history.ac.uk|access-date=30 November 2021}}</ref>  The Old English word ''nœss'', or naze, is related to the modern word nose and refers to a spur or headland, while the suffix -''ing'' means "the dwellers at", so the name can be translated as "People of the Headland".
The Saxons first established compact settlements called hams; more scattered communities with names ending in ''ing'' followed a generation or two later. Waltham, the place in the wood, was probably settled by 600 A.D, which would suggest a date some time in the seventh century for its neighbour Nazeing. Until recently the area around Nazeing Primary School was known as the Ham fields, and it is possible that their name recalls the site of the first settlement in Nazeing.<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://isbnsearch.org/isbn/0953713504|title=ISBN 9780953713509 - Story of Nazeing: Five Miles from Everywhere Pt. 1 (Nazeing History Workshop Publication)|website=Isbnsearch.org|access-date=1 December 2021}}</ref>
The [[Domesday Book]] records Nazeing or Nasinga in the [[Hundred (county subdivision)|hundred]] of Waltham as follows: Canons of Waltham before and after 1066; Odo from Ranulf, brother of Ilger, and 2 freemen from him. ½ fishery.<ref>{{Cite web|url=http://www.domesdaybook.co.uk/essex3.html|title=The Domesday Book Online - Essex L-O|website=Domesdaybook.co.uk|access-date=1 December 2021}}</ref>  The manuscript of 1086 records three entries one of which states the village having seven villagers, 12 smallholders, one free man, seven cattle and 30 pigs.<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://www.quickloansexpress.co.uk/borrow-money/bad-credit-loans/|title=Bad Credit Loans Online &#124; High Acceptance Rates |website=Quickloansexpress.co.uk|access-date=30 November 2021}}</ref><ref>{{Cite web|url=https://opendomesday.org/place/TL4106/nazeing/|title=Nazeing &#124; Domesday Book|website=Opendomesday.org|access-date=1 December 2021}}</ref>
White's Directory of Essex 1848 states: 'NAZEING, or NASING, 5 miles North by East of Waltham Abbey, and from 1 to 3 miles East of Broxbourn Station on the North-Eastern Railway, is a picturesque parish of scattered houses, extending three miles eastward from the river Lea, to which it sends a small rivulet.'
John Marius Wilson's Imperial Gazetteer of England and Wales described Nazeing in 1870–72 like this: 'NAZEING, a village and a parish in Epping district, Essex. The village stands 2¼ miles E of the river Lea at the boundary with Herts, 3 E of Broxbourne r. station, and 4¼ N W of Epping; and has a post-office under Waltham Cross. The parish extends to the river Lea, and comprises 3,893 acres. Real property, £6,710. Pop., 763. Houses, 165.'<ref>{{Cite web |url=http://www.visionofbritain.org.uk/place/6836 |title=History of Nazeing, in Epping Forest and Essex &#124; Map and description |access-date=5 November 2014 |archive-date=5 November 2014 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20141105215340/http://www.visionofbritain.org.uk/place/6836 |url-status=dead }}</ref>
===World War One===
Nazeing contributed 153 men to serve in the armed forces during the First World War, and the village has four war memorials, recording the names of the 28 men who died.<ref>{{Cite web |url=http://www.hertfordshiremercury.co.uk/World-War-changed-village-life-forever/story-21989996-detail/story.html |title=How World War One changed village life forever &#124; Hertfordshire Mercury |access-date=6 November 2014 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20141106120542/http://www.hertfordshiremercury.co.uk/World-War-changed-village-life-forever/story-21989996-detail/story.html |archive-date=6 November 2014 |url-status=dead }}</ref>
===World War Two===
Nazeing Common was the site of a dummy airfield,<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://www.geograph.org.uk/photo/2551737|title=Geograph:: Bunkers at the Decoy Airfield, Nazeing © Lee Holmes|website=Geograph.org.uk|access-date=30 November 2021}}</ref> designed to be a decoy for nearby [[North Weald airfield]].  The land on the site is as it appears today, very hilly, not what one expects from an airfield. The lighting was mounted on wooden poles of varying lengths, so as to keep the proportion and angles right in its appearance from the air.<ref>{{Cite web|url=http://nellyurbex.blogspot.com/2011/05/decoy-airfield-nazeing-essex-april-2011.html|title=Nelly's Urbex: Decoy Airfield - Nazeing - Essex - April 2011|website=Nellyurbex.blogspot.com|date=17 May 2011|access-date=30 November 2021}}</ref> Such dummy airfields were in operation from June 1940, but it is thought the Germans had detected Nazeing as a decoy site by the end of December. The site probably closed by the end of July 1941 as land was needed for agriculture. The decoy was originally built on common grazing land, and this was put to the plough in August 1941.

These buildings housed generators for powering the lighting and had an ops room where the lights were operated from, and where contact could be maintained by telephone to the controlling station i.e.: North Weald itself. The other bunker 100&nbsp;ft further down the hill was used for shelter and a general area for sleeping and cooking.  This site was in operation from June 1940, but it is thought the Germans had detected Nazeing as a decoy site by the end of December. The site probably closed by the end of July 1941 as land was needed for increased agriculture and this was put to the plough in August 1941. These bunkers can be located north of the Nazeing Brook on the Lodge Farm side.
===Clayton Hill===
Clayton Hill is a Lee Valley park with a lovely lake and a big hill, popular to many dog walkers and villagers alike- it is a common place to meet up and spend time together
==Industry and commerce==
For most of its history Nazeing has been a rural parish with agriculture as the main occupation. The river Lea on the west and the forest on the south provided additional employment. During WWII Nazeing as part of the [[Lea Valley]] became increasingly important providing the country with much of its fresh salad produce. The [[Lea Valley]] also had numerous factories geared to aircraft repairs, furniture manufacture, agro-fertilisers, as well as power stations and breweries some of which were located in and around Nazeing. During the past forty years in Nazeing there has been considerable development of market gardening and light industry near the river.
=== Hillgrove Business Park ===
Nazeing is home to Hillgrove Business Park, a medium size industrial estate which holds over 30 companies.<ref>{{Cite web|url=http://www.endole.co.uk/explorer/postcode/en9-2hb|title=39 Companies in EN9 2HB, Hillgrove Business Park, Nazeing Road, Nazeing, Waltham Abbey – Endole|website=www.endole.co.uk|access-date=2016-03-22}}</ref>
===Market gardening and nurseries===
The Lea Valley, particularly around Nazeing, is associated with [[market gardening]], [[Plant nursery|nurseries]] and [[garden centre]]s. The industry once dominated the area in and around the village, this also spawned industries such as [[Pan Britannica Industries]] and L F King & Son Ltd.<ref>{{Cite web|url=http://www.taylorfuelcontrol.com/about-us/|title=About|website=Taylorfuelcontrol.com|access-date=30 November 2021}}</ref> In the 1930s the Lea Valley contained the largest concentration of greenhouses in the world.<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://walthamabbeytownpartnership.org.uk/|title=WATP |website=Walthamabbeytownpartnership.org.uk|access-date=30 November 2021}}</ref> Today, in most parts south of Cheshunt the greenhouses have been replaced by residential areas.

Nazeing Glass Works is one of the oldest surviving glass manufacturers in the UK and can identify itself in glass manufacturing history back to 1612 in Vauxhall. The registered company Nazeing Glass Works Limited was formed in 1931.  In 1956 it was described as having one four-pot, four single-pot and one tank furnace all fired by heavy fuel oil.<ref>{{Cite web|url=http://www.glassmaking-in-london.co.uk/later-glasshouses|title=Later and Perpherial Glasshouses &#124; Glassmaking in London|website=Glassmaking-in-london.co.uk|access-date=30 November 2021}}</ref>
===Gravel extraction===
The other major land use in the area is gravel extraction which has been carried out for a number of years by Redland Gravel Company <ref>{{Cite web |url=https://www.bbc.co.uk/history/domesday/dblock/GB-536000-204000/page/8 |title=BBC - Domesday Reloaded: Southern Nazeing 2 |access-date=24 December 2019 |archive-date=25 September 2015 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20150925061458/http://www.bbc.co.uk/history/domesday/dblock/GB-536000-204000/page/8 |url-status=dead }}</ref> and other companies. Throughout the area evidence of this extraction can be seen in the form of flooded gravel pits. However, many of the lakes have now been turned into leisure areas when extraction has been completed for use as water sports facilities and used by sailing clubs,<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://www.geograph.org.uk/photo/157505|title=Geograph:: Broxbourne Sailing Club © Chris Hunt|website=Geograph.org.uk|access-date=30 November 2021}}</ref> water sports enthusiasts and to provide fishing areas.
