Milton
MILTON, a hamlet, in the parish of Prittlewell, union and hundred of Rochford, S. division of Essex, ¾ of a mile (S. by E.) from Prittlewell. The hamlet was once a distinct parish, but being encroached on by the sea, the church was destroyed: some remains of the building may be seen at low water. Here are fine beds of oysters.
