Epping is one of a number of settlements in the area. The settlement listed in the Domesday Book of 1086 as Epinga is known today as Epping Upland. The town received a market charter in 1253 from King Henry III, giving it the right to hold a weekly market that is still being held today.

Most of the historic buildings in Epping are along High Street. These were built mainly in the 19th century. Due to its rural charm, Epping real estate is sought after by those in London, helping it uphold its value.

About this website

Hello and thanks for reading this page. My name is Timothy and my hobby is in describing places so that I can share the information with the general public. My website has become the go to site for a lot of people including students, teachers, journalists, etc. whenever they seek information on places, particularly those in Malaysia and Singapore. I have been doing this since 5 January 2003, for over twenty years already. You can read about me at Discover Timothy. By now I have compiled information on thousands of places, mostly in Peninsular Malaysia and Singapore, and I continue to add more almost every day. My goal is to describe every street in every town in Malaysia and Singapore.
