HIGHWOOD

KELLY'S DIRECTORY OF ESSEX 1933

HIGHWOOD is a hamlet and ecclesiastical district formed Oct. 29, 1875, from the parish of Writtle (from which place it is 2½ miles south-west), 5 miles west-south-west from Chelmsford and 4 miles north from Ingatestone station on the London and North Eastern railway, in the Chelmsford division of the county, Chelmsford hundred, petty sessional division and county court district, and in the rural deanery of Chelmsford, archdeaconry of Southend and Chelmsford diocese. The church of St. Paul, erected in 1842 as a chapel of ease to Writtle, is a plain building of brick consisting of small chancel, nave, west porch and a western turret containing one bell; the former bell, cast by J. Hodson in 1654, cracked in October, 1921, and a new one has been hung, which contains the original metal of the old one, and is stamped with the original initials and date, 1654, J. H.: the stained east window, together with a tablet on the south wall of the chancel, were placed in Nov. 1894, as memorials to Robert Poole Barlow, d. Sept. 12th, 1892, by Robert Nathaniel and Christine Barlow: there are 230 sittings. The register dates from the year 1842. The living is a vicarage, net yearly value £300, with 4 acres of glebe and residence, in the gift of the Bishop of Chelmsford, and held since 1921 by the Rev. Bernard Henry Durrant Field.
