1848 Whites directory South Hanningfield
HANNINGFIELD, (SOUTH) a small scattered village and parish, 7 miles S.E. by S. of Chelmsford, and N.E. of Billericay,
contains 226 souls, and 1,556 acres of land, partly a light clay, and including 98A. of wood, and 23A. ofwaste. Lord Petre is lord of the manor; but Sir W. B. Proctor, the Executors of the late Sir N. C. Tindal, Sir J. T. Tyrell, and some smaller owners, have estates here. The Church (St. Peter,) is a small ancient structure, with a tiled roof, and a wooden belfry. It has undergone many repairs, but one of its original Norman windows still remains. The Rectory, valued in K.B. at £10 , is consolidated with that of West Hanning- field. The glebe here is 20A. 2P. , and the tithes were commuted in 1844 for £367 per annum. The poor have the interest of £50, left by Elicia King, in 1813, and of £100, left by Susan Langley, in 1839. The latter is subject to the repairs of the donor’s tomb.
