Rochford is a locality in the Macedon Ranges Shire, in Victoria, Australia, on the Lancefield-Woodend Road (now signposted as the Rochford Road).
The district once contained a number of public and religious buildings, all of which now appear to have been removed or demolished. These included a Public Hall, Anglican Church, Presbyterian Church, and tennis courts. [3]
Rochford Post Office opened on 10 March 1863 and closed in 1965. [4]
The 1857 red brick building & former 1870 principal's residence of the former Rochford North School (State School 540) [3] is still standing and is now a privately owned luxury holiday rental. [5]
