URPoint Details
The village dates from the 11th century but is believed to have had Roman settlement, and mentioned in the Domesday Book with a population of 120.
The name is derived from ‘Hoga’s cliffe’ with the cliff referring to the hill on which stands the 14th century church.
Since the original settlement round the church, Hockcliffe has now spread down both side of the famous Watling Street.
