More on Brentwood
Discovery of a Bronze Age axe in Brentwood provided evidence of human habitation during that period. The name is believed to be derived from "burnt wood", as it originated from the burning of a wooded area. In the old days, Brentwood was at the crossroad of the old Roman road that runs from Colchester to London and the pilgrimage route to Canterbury.Little is known of Brentwood until the 19th century. Brentwood Cathedral dates from a parish church built in 1861. It was elevated to cathedral status in 1917. Originally in the Gothic style, the parish church was remodelled in the Italianate Classical style in 1989.
Today Brentwood is a relatively affluent town, ranked the 19th richest in Britain by The Daily Telegraph in 2008. Many of its residents work in the financial services industry in London.
