KELVEDON-HATCH

White's History, Gazetteer & Directory of Essex ~ 1848

Submitted and Transcribed by Essex Villages

 

KELVEDON HATCH is a scattered village, mostly on a green or common, from 2 to 4 miles S. by E. of Chipping-Ongar, and its parish contains 430 souls, and 1656 acres of land.  Kelvedon Hall, a neat mansion in a small park, is the seat of J. F. Wright, Esq., the lord of the manor of Germains, which was formerly held by the Bolles and other families, but passed to the Wrights about 1540.  An estate and small manor, called Miles, belongs to John Fane, Esq.; and Bryces, or Brizes, and ancient house and estate, is the seat and property of the Misses Dolby, and was anciently held by the Luther and other families.

The Church (St. Nicholas,) stands near the hall, and is a good brick building, with a tiled roof and wooden belfry.  In the interior are many monumental memorials to the Wrights, and an epitaph in old French, for Richard Welleby, in very ancient characters.  

The rectory, valued in K.B. at £12, and in 1831 at £400, is now in the patronage of W. H. Ashpitel, Esq., and incumbency of the Rev. John Bannister, A.M., who has 30a. 3r. 25P. of glebe, and an ancient Rectory House, which has lately been much improved.  

The poor have £2. 18s. 6d. a year from Jane Luther's Charity, as noticed with Stapleford Tawney, for distribution in bread.  They have also four tenements, and five acres of land, left by the same donor, and now let for £21 10s. per annum, which is distributed on the first Monday in the year; together with a yearly rent of £2.10s. from an acre of land given by an unknown donor, and now lying in the park of the Misses Dolby.  These ladies and J. F. Wright, Esq., usually gladden the hearts of the poor parishioners with large distributions of beef, clothing, &c., at Christmas.
