According to Pevsner, Charles Dickens called Chigwell "such an out of the way rural place". Pevsner goes on to say: "The visitor today is surprised to find it still a real village, the first as one leaves London in a north-east direction." This was written though in the 1950s but Chigwell still has the feel of a village as one heads up the hill away from the underground station towards St Mary's Church. This view is beyond the old village on the way to Debden or Abridge.
