Norton Mandeville 1848 Whites directory

NORTON MANDEVILLE parish has only 134 souls, and 727A. 1R.39P. of land, though the village is situated more than a mile E. of the church, round a small heath or common, on the Chelmsford and Epping road, 3 miles E. of Chipping Ongar. At the Domesday survey it belonged to Hamo Dapifer. It is now in two manors, viz. , Norton- Mandeville, which was held by the Mandeville family, but was purchased in 1480, by Merton College, Oxford, to which it still belongs ; and Newarks Norton, which extends into High Ongar, and belongs to the Rev. J. B. Stane. Mr. John Mullucks and Mr. John Caton have small estates in the parish.
The Church (All Saints,) is a small ancient edifice, with a wooden belfrey, and was appropriated to the nunnery of St. Leonard’s Bromley. Capel Cure, Esq. , is now the impropriator, and also patron of the perpetual curacy, which was valued in 1831 at only £83, and has no parsonage house. It has 22A. 1R. 26P. of glebe, which was mostly purchased with benefaction money, and a grant from Queen Anne’s Bounty, in 1743. The Rev. Jno. Chamberlayne, of Eastwick, Hertfordshire, is the incumbent.
