'The name "Mardyke" means boundary ditch and it forms part of the boundary between the Chafford and Barstable hundreds. It is mentioned in an Anglo-Saxon charter from around the time of the Norman conquest. The main tributory to the Mardyke rises in Holden's Wood between Great Warley and Little Warley and the river flows in to the Thames at Purfleet where there was a water mill owned by the Knight's Templar. There are other tributories that rise in Upminster and Langdon Hills.'
