 EoLFHS Parishes: Stratford
Stratford, or Stratford Langthorne, Essex, extends from Bow Bridge for 1½ miles along the Romford road, and for a considerable distance along the roads to Low Leyton and Leytonstone.
Of old, Stratford was regarded as a part of West Ham, but it has long outgrown the mother parish, which lies on one side in quiet obscurity.
Stratford Langthorne Abbey, for monks of the Cistercian order, was founded in 1135 by William de Montfichet, and endowed with the manor of West Ham and other estates in the county.

Stratford was also known at this time for its furniture industry which in 1916 boasted more than 20 furniture factories.
As Stratford continued to grow steadily, content with its focus on trains and furniture, and content as well with the phenomenon that set it apart from other towns and cities across the country — its large and lovely river-parks system.
To many the Stratford Festival was a miracle since it almost immediately replaced the railway as the city’s greatest influence and now tourism became Stratford’s biggest industry.

The same name of Stony Stratford is a reminder of the stone paved road crossing the river; only much later the place was divided, by the same river, into two separate villages, belonging to two different Counties.
Before the division, the original settlement, which is now Old Stratford was known as "Stane Streetford" or "Stani Stratford" and Old Stratford, was just the oldest part of Stony Stratford.
The original settlement, on such a strategic point, in the middle of the Country, and on the main road connecting the North to the South of England, with traffic passing the river, witnessed all sort of events, armies moving, commerce and trading activities prospering, royalties travelling.

It's a quarter mile to the swimming hole on the Stratford side, and the path is pretty well worn along the river up to that point.
I hope that the cities of Stratford and Shelton, along with volunteers, can work together to make this one of the finest parks in the region by improving and marking the trails, policing the swimming hole, keeping the area junk-free, adding Open Space along the river, and gaining additional access points for the general public.

 The Spelling and Pronunciation of Shakespeare's Name
The first list consists of non-literary references to William Shakespeare of Stratford; these include records from Stratford and its environs, as well as various London records, including those relating to his career as an actor and shareholder in the Globe and Blackfriars theatres.
Oxfordians use a form of this argument when they note that the name was spelled "Shakspere" in the Stratford parish register records of Shakespeare's baptism and burial and those of his children; surely, they say, this was the "official" spelling.
He has apparently glanced at the evidence enough to see how often the name of "the Stratford man" was spelled "Shakespeare," but this conflicts with his firm belief that the man's name was unequivocally "Shaksper" or "Shakspere." Thus he rationalizes away the mass of "Shakespeare" spellings by claiming (p.

It is immediately north of where the Roman road Watling Street (later, but no longer, the A5) crossed the River Great Ouse; immediately south of this crossing point is the town of Stony Stratford in Milton Keynes.
At an earlier time, the Buckingham Arm of the Grand Union Canal passed through the village: long disused, the only evident reminder of that time is that the village has a "Wharf Lane".
For most practical respects, Old Stratford is a suburb of its southern neighbour which, in turn, is increasingly regarded as a suburb of Milton Keynes.
