Crays Hill is a village in the Basildon borough of Essex, England. The local school is Crays Hill Primary School. The River Crouch passes under Church Lane.[1]

The village was listed in Domesday Book of 1086 when the Lord of the manor and tenant-in-chief was Sasselin of Layer.[2]

Crays Hill was part of the civil parish of Ramsden Crays until 1934 when it was abolished to enlarge South Hanningfield.[3]

Dale Farm

Crays Hill is the site of Dale Farm, once the largest Irish Traveller site in Europe.[4] There has been a long-running legal battle by Basildon Council to evict the travellers who have illegally built upon green belt land.[5] The council sent in police and bailiffs on 19 October 2011 to clear the disputed section of the site.[6][7]
