Epping is a market town and civil parish in the Epping Forest district of the county of Essex in England. Epping is widely known in Germany for being the home of Peter, David, Betty and Helga, featured in many textbooks used to teach English to German children. It is twinned with the German town of Eppingen in northwest Baden-Württemberg. Although the once-famous Epping Butter, which was highly sought after in the 18th and 19th centuries, is no longer made, the equally well-known Epping sausages are still manufactured by Church's Butchers who have been trading on the same site since 1888.
