Hadleigh Country Park in Essex, just to the west of Southend, has a living education programme based on the Saxons – Hadleigh is of Saxon origin meaning “clearing in the heath”. This work has been expanded to cover other periods, and at the same time provide a building to give school groups a sheltered working environment.

Many options were considered, but the wish to build something dramatic and unique to the county led to the building of a replica Iron Age roundhouse. There are two Iron Age finds in Chapel Lane, and there is archaeological evidence of roundhouses at Shoeburyness and Orsett.

Hadleigh’s roundhouse is based on a floor plan from an archaeological excavation at Little Waltham, near Chelmsford and was funded by a grant from Veolia ES Cleanaway Pitsea Marshes Trust.
