  • Epping Forest Gaynes Park Theydon Garnon Tl 484
    EPPING FOREST GAYNES PARK THEYDON GARNON TL 484 017 Ancient deer park dating from the C13 with remains of C19 gardens, including a formal parterre and rockery, wild garden, and tree plantations. More evidence remains of early C20 gardens to the south of the mansion. HISTORIC DEVELOPMENT Gaynes Park, also known as Park Hall, Gaines or Genis, was part of a medieval deer park belonging to the manor of Theydon Garnon. The estate appears to have been formed out of the forest (Waltham) during the reign of King Henry III when Robert Garnon secured a licence to enclose his wood at Taydon for a park. The estate derived its name from John Engaine who occupied the property at one time, and in 1578, during the ownership of Sir FitzWiliam, Queen Elizabeth I visited Gaynes during her Progress through East Anglia (Davey). In 1650 the Manor is described as having a brick built house, gardens, orchards, yards, stables, outhouses enclosed with brick walls and three acres of land, fishponds, and a store of young timber plus 450 acres (Particular). It is also described as being well supplied with water and well stocked with deer (D/Dac 229). During the C17 an additional 700 acres were added to the estate (VCH). The original house, Park Hall, was demolished by 1740 and was replaced by a new house built a short distance away on higher ground (Chapman and André). By 1781 the property belonged to Thomas Coxhead, passing to his son William Coxhead-Marsh, and later the Chisenhale-Marsh family. Around the turn of the century Mr Marsh is described as one of the largest landowners in the area.

  • CHAPTER 1: *ANTHONY POTTER Page 68 Stondon Massey, Essex
    Stondon Massey, Essex: There was a "Whipple’s Farm" at Stondon Massey (Stondon), Essex that may have been owned or occupied originally by the WHIPPLE0 brothers, MATTHEW WHIPPLE0 (1588 – 1647) and JOHN WHIPPLE0 (1596 – 1669), of Bocking, Essex.19 The Puritan Reverend NATHANIEL WARD0 (1578 – 1652) was rector of Stondon Massey (later known as “St. Peter & St. Paul Church”) from 1626 or 1628 until he was compelled to immigrate to New England in 1634. In 1630 Stondon Massey was located just 16 miles northeast of London in southwest Essex County and was only 20 miles from Bocking. [Note: Today Stondon Massey is a suburb of London. It is just 4 miles north of Brentwood half way to Chipping Ongar up route A128. Brentwood is on the northeast side of London just outside motorway M25, the beltway around London. In August 1594, MATTHEW WHIPPLE-1 (ca. 1560 – 1619) was one of eleven witnesses in the court session at Brentwood where seven defendants were brought from Colchester prison to stand trial.] Interestingly, Stondon Massey was only eight (8) miles east of Theydon Garnon, Epping, Essex where STEPHEN CLARKE-1 (1566 – 1610) and his family lived, which may have included *JOANNA CLARK POTTER0, the possible mother of *ANTHONY POTTER1 (ca. 1628 – 1690). Also, this may explain how JOHN WHIPPLE0 (1596 – 1669) met his first wife, SUSANNA CLARKE WHIPPLE0 (ca. 1594 – before 1634), and why they married in nearby London, England. [Note: Today Theydon Garnon, Epping, Essex is a suburb of London. It is located on the northeast side of London on motorway M11 just north of the junction of motorways M11 and M25.

In addition there had been a build up of litter and junk that made most users walk the private roadway to the first stile along the route rather than “risk” the public footpath. This footpath used to be the start of the cross country route past the old clinker beds to Theydon Garnon Church until the “Old Foresters” pavilion and the new road were built in the mid seventies. Nevertheless it is clearly marked and documented on the Definitive Footpath map of the Parish produced two years ago by Essex County Council which in itself constitutes a legal document. (A copy of which is held and can be seen in the Parish Office.) In order to encourage the public to use the route more we formed a working party of volunteers who over the course of three Saturday afternoons in March and April began to clear the rubbish.
