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.
