rectory, in the archdeaconry of Essex, and diocese of
London, rated in the king's books at £11, 14. 7., and

College, Oxford. The church, dedicated to St. James, is

the remains, which are picturesquely situated on the
brow of a steep hill, consist chiefly of two dilapidated
circular towers." [From Samuel Lewis A Topographical Dictionary of England (1831) - copyright Mel Lockie 2016]
