In 1870-72, John Marius Wilson's Imperial Gazetteer of England and Wales described The Naze like this:
NAZE (The), a headland in the E of Essex; 5 miles S of Harwich. A tower is on it; and a rocky ledge, 1½mile long, with from 2 to 5 feet water, is off it. The name is a corruption of "ness" or "nez, " a nose.
The Naze is now part of TENDRING District. Click here for graphs and data of how TENDRING has changed over two centuries. For statistics about The Naze itself, go to Statistics.
