HOME HIGH EASTER Dunmow Hundred

EASTER, (HIGH) a large and pleasant village, near the chief source of the river Can, 8 miles N.W, of Chelmsford, has in its parish975 souls, and 4648 acres of land, including Lofty Green, Pentlow End, Staggin's Cross, Bishop's Green, and many scattered farmhouses, bearing different names. Before the Conquest, High Estra belonged to Ely Abbey, but at the Conquest it was seized by Algor, the constable of the army, but he was dispossessed by the Conqueror, who gave the parish to Geoffrey de Magnaville. J. J. Tufnell, Esq., is now lord of the principal manor, called High Easterbury, and formerly held by the Earls of Essex, and the Fitz-Piers, Bohun, and Stafford families. From the latter it reverted to the Crown, as part of the Duchy of Lancaster. It was sold by Charles I., in 1629. Lord Dacre, Fdk. J. Matthews, Guy's Hospital, and the Rev. Sir A. B. Henniker, have estate here. The latter is lord of the manor of Garnets and Merks, on the north side of the parish.

An old manor-house, called Hayrons, 1 mile S. of the church, is still encompassed by a moat, and has belonged to the Hayron, Gedge, and Glascock families. An estate called "Mannocks," was long the seat of a family of its own name, the last of whom, Sir Francis Mannock, sold it in the civil wars, to escape the ruinous effects of fines and sequestrations.
