WRITTLE ESSEX ENGLAND

WRITTLE is a village and parish in the hundred of Chelmsford, about 2½ miles from that town, and 30 from London. It was formerly a market town, but has long been divested of that consequence and its trade by the importance of Chelmsford. It still, however, maintains its rank amongst the most respectable villages in this district, and is the residence of many opulent families. The remains of a palace, built by King John in 1211, are a short distance from the green. A remarkable custom in the manor of Writtle, is denominated "Leppe and Lasse," viz. that every cart coming over a part of it called Greenbury, except it belong to a nobleman, must pay fourpence to the lord of the manor. The present possessor of the manor is Lord Petre, of Thorndon hall. The parish is very extensive, and computed to be sixty-one miles in circumference.

The church, dedicated to All-Saints, is an ancient building, consisting of a nave, chancel, and side aisles, with an embattled tower at the west end; in 1802 the tower fell with a tremendous crash, since which it has been rebuilt, and contains eight excellent bells and a handsome clock. There are besides a methodist chapel, a neat workhouse; a charity school for thirty boys and twenty girls, and six almshouses for poor widows. The living here is a vicarage, and the peculiar jurisdiction extends to both parishes of Writtle and Roxwell : it is in the gift of the warden and fellows of New College, Oxford, the Rev. Thomas Penrose is the vicar of Writtle cum Roxwell. The latter place was formerly considered but as an hamlet to Writtle, but it is now a distinct parish, except as to the peculiar jurisdiction. A pleasure fair is held in Writtle on Whit-Monday. By the late government returns Writtle parish contained 2,348, and that of Roxwell, 847 inhabitants.
