Geocache Description:


Thundersley is a district forming most of the northern quarter of Castle Point Borough, in south East Essex, England, about 35 miles east of London.

It is bounded by the A127 road to the north, where it borders Rayleigh, the A130 road to the west where it borders Basildon, the A13 road to the south (bordering the South Benfleet district of Castle Point), plus a triangular salient further southward as far as Benfleet Road and Thundersley Glen, and eastwards beyond the A129 road bordering Daws Heath and Hadleigh, also within the borough. The Parish of Thundersley includes Daws Heath.

Thundersley is partly rural, with large woods and commons, including The Common, Starvelarks Wood, Wyeburns Wood, Tile Wood, Pound Wood, West Wood, Thundersley Glen, The Chase and borders on The Downs (largely in Hadleigh and South Benfleet), and partly suburban, with large areas of housing and small industrial parks. The area has the highest proportion of owner-occupied homes in Britain at 89%, along with the highest concentration of concrete per capita in the country.

Its name came from Anglo-Saxon Þunres leah = "grove or meadow [perhaps sacred] belonging to the god Thor". Thor (Old Norse: Þór, also known as Tor) is the red-haired and bearded god of thunder and war in Norse Mythology. Thor is the son of Odin and Jord.

Odin (Old Norse Óðinn, also known as Oden), is considered the chief God in Norse Mythology and Norse Paganism. Like the Anglo-Saxon Woden it is descended from Proto-GermanicWodinaz. His name is related to oor meaning "fury", "excitation", "mind" or "poetry". His role, like many of the Norse Pantheon is complex. He is a god of wisdon, war, battle and death. He is also attested as being a god of magic, poetry, prophecy, victory and the hunt.
