Noak Hill is a village in Essex. It stands on hilly terrain close by the swollen edge of the conurbation. The village consists of various period homes, many of which are listed buildings, a 19th-century church and scattered farms. It is located immediately north of the post-war estate of Harold Hill and east of Havering-atte-Bower.

History

Noak Hill was a ward in the ancient parish of Hornchurch. By the 16th century, it had come under the control of the Romford vestry and was included in the newly created Romford civil parish in 1849.

The name "Noak" is a corruption of the Middle English atten oak, meaning "at the oak [tree]".
