Rawreth is a village and civil parish in the district of Rochford, Essex, in the east of England. It lies just south of Rayleigh and east of Wickford, occupying a largely rural landscape of farmland, small lanes and drainage channels that slope down towards the River Crouch and the riverside settlement of Battlesbridge; the area remains quiet but is within easy commuting distance of Southend-on-Sea and London.
Historically agricultural with a scattering of older farmhouses and parish buildings, Rawreth today mixes traditional farming with commuter households and small local businesses. The nearby antiques centre and occasional fairs at Battlesbridge add a distinctive cultural note, while community life tends to centre on the church, village activities and the small‑scale local economy supported by good road links to larger towns.
