History
Originally called the Hornchurch Hockey club, which was founded in 1922, the name was changed by Mrs E Gallant, then chairman of the council's leisure committee, in order to accommodate those outside Hornchurch.
While originally sharing a pitch with the RAF Hornchurch, the club moved in 1972 to Harrow Lodge Park, on the request of Havering Council. This is where they have their clubhouse today, some 40 years later.

Famous quotes containing the word history:
“To care for the quarrels of the past, to identify oneself passionately with a cause that became, politically speaking, a losing cause with the birth of the modern world, is to experience a kind of straining against reality, a rebellious nonconformity that, again, is rare in America, where children are instructed in the virtues of the system they live under, as though history had achieved a happy ending in American civics.”
—Mary McCarthy (1912–1989)
“In all history no class has been enfranchised without some selfish motive underlying. If to-day we could prove to Republicans or Democrats that every woman would vote for their party, we should be enfranchised.”
—Carrie Chapman Catt (1859–1947)
“History takes time.... History makes memory.”
—Gertrude Stein (1874–1946)
