History of Little Warley
Little
Warley is a parish and village about 1 mile east from great Warley, seated on an
eminence with a commanding prospect,
in the Mid division of the county, hundred of Chafford, Billericay union,
Brentwood petty sessional division and county court district, Barstable rural
deanery, Essex archdeaconry and St Albans diocese. Before the Norman accession
it belonged to the cathedral of
St Paul.
The
London,
Tilbury and Southend Railway Companys new line from Barking to Pitsea passes
through the parish. The church of St Peter, is a plain building of brick and
stone standing at a considerable distance from the village, and consists of
chancel and nave and a western tower containing 1 small bell: in the chancel are
two marble monuments with canopies to Sir Denner Strutt, lord of this manor, who
died 1641; to Sir Denner Street, without date and to Dame Mary Strutt, who died
in 1654. The registry dates from the year 1539. The living is a rectory, of the

The Chappington charity, left in 1709 by Hugh Chappington, of Little Warley, and
arising from a house and 17 acres of land, produces £40 a year, which is applied
towards the support of the schools and other charitable
purposes. On the common there are barracks for the training of recruits for the
depot of the
Essex
regiment; these are capable of containing about fifteen hundred men: adjoining
is a garrison chapel of which the Rev Charles Gregson MA, of
University
College,

has been chaplain since 1885. Lord Headley is lord of the manor and principal
landowner. The soil is clayey; subsoil, stiff loam. The chief crops are wheat,
beans, peas and barley. The area is 1,688 acres of land and 13 water; rateable

I get hundreds of emails every day, fortunately most 'spam mails' are deleted by my mail scan settings. The final emails are delivered to various email addresses, and replying to these are not always successful. If you do not hear from me in a timely fashion, please feel free to email again, I do not mind! This is a pure PUBS history site, I doubt if I know where the PUBS are NOW, but try the site for where they were a hundred years ago, again enjoy!
Once you have discovered enough history of Essex; why not study to undergraduate or postgraduate level in Computer Science or Electronics Engineering at the Department of Computing and Electronic Systems, Essex University in Colchester, Essex? It is not only a great place to study, but also a foreleader in technology at an UK leading University with courses and doctoral research in Robotics, Natural Engineering, Intelligent Systems,
Embedded Systems, Networking and Photonics, Laser Technology etc.
