STOW MARIES
White’s History, Gazetteer & Directory of Essex ~ 1848
Submitted and Transcribed by Essex Villages
STOW MARIES, a small pleasant village, on an eminence, 5
½ miles S. by W. of Maldon, and 10 miles E. of Chelmsford, has in its parish
257 souls, and 2444a. 2r. of land, boldly undulated, and divided into two parts
of the parish of Cold Norton.
Stow Marsh, bounded by the Crouch and two of its creeks, is from 1 to 2 miles
S. of the village. About 60a.are roads, and 80a.salt-ings and ouze. Anciently
there was a family surname Mareys residing here, and from them the parish had
the latter part of its name. It is all freehold, but was formerly two manors,
called Stow Maries and Hayes, which have been held by the Bohun, Maxey, Sutton,
Vere, and other families. The soil now belongs chiefly to Lord Rayleigh, W. J.
Prowse, Esq., Exors. of the late C. Parker, Esq., G. Nottidge, Esq., and E.
Blore, Esq.
The Church (Virgin Mary) is a small antique fabric, consisting of a nave and
chancel, with a small wooden belfry and spire. The north side is nearly covered
with ivy, and in the nave is a trefoiled crocketted niche, said to have
anciently contained a silver statue of the Virgin Mary. In the chancel is a
piscina, and a brass in memory of T. Cummocke, who died in 1602. The church is
mostly in the perpendicular style of the 15th century, but has undergone many
repairs, and the south wall of the nave was rebuilt of brick, about two
centuries ago.
The rectory, valued in K.B. at £18.6s.8d.,and in 1831 at £500, is in the
patronage of the Rev. T. C. Storie, and incumbency of the Rev. H. A, Browne,
M.A., who has a good residence.
Here is an Infant and also a Sunday School.
Post Office, at Isaac Andrew’s. Letters by Maldon foot-post.
