BUTTSBURY parish, 2½ miles E. of Ingatestone, and 6 miles S. by W. of Chelmsford, has 513 inhabitants and 2021 acres of land, including 104A. of wood and 15A. of waste. Its houses are mostly intermixed with the village of Stock, and its Church (St. Mary) is a small ancient structure on the western side of that village, and is now but seldom used. The benefice is a donative curacy, annexed to the rectory of Ingatestone. The parish has been variously spelt Botelnesbury, Botulfespyrie, &c. It is mostly freehold, belonging to Lord Petre, the Earl of Wicklow, and other proprietors; and lies in the seven manors of Blunts, Frestling or Thrustling, Impey Hall, Crondon, White’s and Ramsey Tyrells,and Buckwins. The church was appropriated to the nunnery of St. Leonard’s Bromley, which had a cell or hermitage here. The poor have £5 yearly from James’s Charity.
