Bradwell-juxta-Coggeshall (Holy Trinity)

BRADWELL-juxta-Coggeshall (Holy Trinity), a parish, in the union of Braintree, hundred of Witham, N. division of Essex, 2 miles (W. by S.) from Coggeshall; containing 293 inhabitants. It derives its name, originally Broadwell, from a copious spring to the north of the Hall: the river Pant, or Black-water, flows through a small hamlet in the parish, to which it gives its name. The living is a rectory, valued in the king's books at £12, and in the gift of M. P. C. Brunwin, Esq.: the tithes have been commuted for £345, and the glebe consists of 31 acres. The church is a small edifice with a tower, and contains several ancient and handsome alabaster monuments.

Transcribed from A Topographical Dictionary of England, by Samuel Lewis, seventh edition, published 1858.
