The Parish

The parish of East Hanningfield lies in southern central Essex roughly 6 miles southeast of the town of Chelmsford. East Hanningfield is a mid-sized and compact village which sits just under 2 miles east of the A130 road which links Chelmsford with Rayleigh & Wickford. Most of East Hanningfield lies between a forking junction to the north and a crossroads to the south both joined by the main lane, The Tye. Prior to medieval times this was a largely forested area with stiff heavy clays soils resisting agriculture, with modern equipment the forests were cleared and arable farming now dominates the landscape. Drainage through the area has been interrupted by the construction of Hanningfield Reservoir which has formed a major water resource and also a wildfowl sanctuary to the west of the A130. Most drainage follows straggling watercourses generally trending to the Chelmer and thence the North Sea through the port of Maldon. East Hanningfield is sited at around 60 metres above the sea in gentle terrain where land rises little more than a further 10 metres for some distance. East Hanningfield parish was fairly typically sized for its area, covering just over 2,300 acres it would have supported a population of close to 450 parishioners. East Hanningfield is not specifically mentioned in Domesday Book.

The Church

Sadly East Hanningfield's medieval church, which stood to the south of the Hall was destroyed by a fire in 1883, parishioners took the opportunity to rebuild on the eastern side of The Tye and a new church was completed and re-dedicated in 1885. Strangely the only remains of the old church are some fragments of wall paintings preserved at the Victoria & Albert Museum. Whilst today's church is rather pretty and bordering on the "cute" it is clearly of little architectural interest for Pevsner who's account is a brief half dozen lines mainly outlining the main features. The Tye is broad enough for parking and this is facilitated by a driveway in front of the churchyard gates allowing an extended visit. The hedged churchyard has quite a few immature trees dotted about but most angles are not seriously impeded as yet.
