NEVENDON, or Newendon, is a small parish and straggling village, in a pleasant valley, 4 miles S.E. by E. of Billericay, containing 205 souls, and 974 acres of land. Before the Conquest, it was held by three proprietors, and it afterwards passed to the Mareschall, Fitz-Lewis, Berdeford, Blackmore, Bavin, and Eachus families. It is in two reputed manors, called Nevendon, or Bromfords Hall, and Frerne, or Fryerne, and belongs to various owners.
The Church (St. Peter) is a small ancient fabric,which was restored and newly seated in 1859, at the cost of about £300. The rectory, valued in K.B. at £11, and now at £225, is in the patronage of the Trustees of Thos. Brewitt, Esq. , and incumbency of the Rev. W. M. Kerr, B.A., who has a good residence.
