Wivenhoe ( ) is a town and civil parish in north-eastern Essex, England, approximately south-east of Colchester. Historically Wivenhoe village, on the banks of the River Colne, and Wivenhoe Cross, on the higher ground to the north, were two separate settlements; however, with considerable development in the 19th century, the two have since merged. At the 2011 census, the town had a population of 7,637, compared with 7,221 in 2001. The town's history centres on fishing, ship building and smuggling.

According to folk etymology, the name derived from "Wyvernhoe", originating from the mythic ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
