HANNINGFIELD (SOUTH) , a small scattered village and parish, 7 miles S.E. by S. of Chelmsford, and N.E. of Billericay, contains 235 souls and 1556 acres of land, partly a light clay, and including 98A. of wood and 23A. of waste. Lord Petre is lord of the manor ; but Capt. 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 Hanningfield. 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.
