In 1934 the parish was abolished; the parish abolished in 1934 was an elongated area stretching north–south in common with neighbouring parishes. East Horndon was a separate parish to the east and the next parish to the west was Little Warley.

The population of West Horndon in 1931 was 147. The village began to grow with the 1938 establishment of Rotary Hoes, a manufacturer of trenching machinery. House-building continued in the 1950s for commuters to London as well as workers at Rotary Hoes. In 1975, Rotary Hoes closed shortly afterwards; the civil parish formed in 2003, with different boundaries, is perpendicular to the former parish, stretching east–west to incorporate territory part of the parishes of Childerditch, East Horndon, Little Warley and West Horndon. In each of these former parishes the inner part is now part of West Horndon and the northern and southern extremities is outside the parish; the parish includes the settlements of Dunton Hills, Little Warley and West Horndon. It is predominately a rural parish with large sections of open land within the Metropolitan Green Belt. Within the main settlement of West Horndon village are some streets of suburban houses and a small area of light industrial use. To the southeast of the parish is the Dunton Hills golf course.

The village is surrounded by an industrial estate, it is the first area east of London to not be continuously built up. There are hills rising as high as 100 metres covered in trees, arable fields and fenland of London clay.

There are several streams running down from the hills into the Mar Dyke which drains the fens out to the Thames at Purfleet. There was a time when it was planned to make the Mardyke into a canal but it was never brought to fruition. Thorndon Avenue is a long straight road leading to the heart of the modern village of West Horndon. Halfway down is the junior school with playing fields at the back and opposite is the modern church of St Francis. At the centre of the village is a village hall, built around 1961. On the other side of Station Road is a housing estate, consisting of meandering roads and cul-de-sacs, bordered at the rear by the railway line.

There were three manors in the area of West Horndon, Tillingham Hall being the one which had most of the land in its borders. In 1066 Alwin, a free woman held it, but by 1086 it had passed to Swain of Essex in the hundred of Barstable. Following this the Tillingham family held the hall for several hundred years, it was sold to Sir William Bawd, who conveyed it to Coggeshall Abbey, where it remained until the Dissolution of the Monasteries. It is thought that the Abbey began to restrict the rights of the commons, for there were many proceedings in the manor-courts against the ordinary people trespassing on the land of the lords. After they acquired the commonland it was left as wild heath and woods, much as we see it today, the lords of the manor having much pleasure hunting to hounds through it as far as Southend.

The church of All Saints is built of brick, the present one being the third on this site. The village of Torinduna referred to in Domesday was built around this hill; the Saxon church was built around AD 807 rebuilt in the Norman style by the Neville family about 1200.

Between the 1954–55 and 1970–71 seasons, 13 first-class cricket teams from East Pakistan played in the Pakistan domestic cricket competitions, the Quaid-i-Azam Trophy and the Ayub Trophy. With the creation of Bangladesh in 1971, this participation ended. An East Pakistan Governor's XI played a first-class match against the touring International XI in 1961-62. NB: Team names are as they appear on CricketArchive scorecards; some names differ in Wisden, such as "East Pakistan C. A." and "East Pakistan Sports Federation", both of which Cricket Archive calls East Pakistan. The only team to defeat sides from West Pakistan was East Pakistan, which defeated Hyderabad four times, Khairpur once, a combined Hyderabad-Khairpur-Quetta team once. East Pakistan played first-class matches against the touring Indians in 1954-55 and the MCC in 1955-56; the touring team won on each occasion. The only East Pakistan player to be selected in the Pakistan Test team was Niaz Ahmed. Several Test players from West Pakistan played for East Pakistan teams, however.

Abdul Latif, who captained East Pakistan teams in several matches, was a prominent player in the 1960s. He scored three centuries, took 24 wickets for 97 with his leg-spin in two consecutive matches for East Pakistan Greens in January 1968. Javed Masood hit the highest score for an East Pakistan team when he scored 215 in the victory over Hyderabad in 1962-63. According to Shaharyar Khan, Niaz Ahmed was used for political purposes, to disguise Pakistan's neglect of cricket in East Pakistan: "There was a club-level cricketer from Dhaka called Niaz Ahmed, Pakistan's perennial 12th man for quite some time, the Pakistan Cricket Board attempting to give the unconvincing impression that East Pakistan was on the verge of national representation; the fact was that no effort was made by the governments of Pakistan or by the cricket boards to promote cricket in East Pakistan." Most first-class matches in East Pakistan were played at Dacca Stadium. Pakistan played seven Tests at the stadium between 1955 and 1969.

Xanten Cathedral, sometimes called St. Victor's Cathedral, is a Roman Catholic church situated in Xanten, a historic town in the lower Rhine area, North Rhine-Westphalia, Germany, it is considered the biggest cathedral between the sea. In 1936 it was declared a minor basilica by Pope Pius XI. Though the church is called a cathedral, it has never been the seat of a bishop; the cathedral owes its name to Victor of Xanten, a member of the Theban Legion, executed in the 4th century in the amphitheater of Castra Vetera for refusing to sacrifice to the Roman gods. This Roman camp is near today's town of Birten. According to legend, Helena of Constantinople recovered the bones of Victor and his legion and erected a chapel in their honour. During a modern excavation the existence of a 4th-century cella memoriae was discovered; the cornerstone of the cathedral was laid in 1263 by Konrad von Hochstaden. Construction lasted 281 years and was finished with the dedication of the Holy Spirit Chapel in the year 1544.

The cathedral contains a five-aisle nave built in the Gothic style. In contrast to many other cathedrals of the period, St. Victor's lacks an ambulatory. Instead a twin pair of chapels is connected to the choir similar to that seen at the Church of Our Lady in Trier. Along with the monasterial library of the Cathedral houses one of the most important religious libraries of the Lower Rhine. Today the cathedral is the seat of the auxiliary bishop Heinrich Janssen who presides over the Lower Rhine part of the Diocese of Münster.
