Kirby-le-soken

6.5 miles North East of Clacton-on-Sea.
Population 1,899.

During the 19th Century barges and skippers regularly docked at Kirby Quay to supply the area with a variety of materials and due to it's location near the water there was believed to have been a thriving and well-organised smuggling network in the village. Recorded in the 'Doomsday Book' of 1087 the 'Le-Soken' villages of this area were denoted 'Special Powers and Privileges' that allowed them to create their own laws with church approval.


At the village centre there is a medieval church and a picturesque green bounded by a row of attractive Georgian houses. There is also a variety of modern housing, a small shop and two public houses.
