  • Great Waltham
    The Hundred Parishes An introduction to GREAT WALTHAM Location: 5 miles north of Chelmsford. Ordnance Survey grid square: TL6913. Postcode: CM3 1DP. Access: A130, B1008. Regional Cycle Route 50. Bus: 42/42a/52 Chelmsford - Gt Waltham - Gt Dunmow - Takeley – Stansted. County: Essex. District: Chelmsford. Population: 2,172 in 2011. Great Waltham is one of the largest parishes of Essex, lying mostly in the broad valley of the River Chelmer, which here runs from north to south. The name Waltham has a Saxon derivation meaning wood (walt) home (ham). The area was once part of the extensive Forest of Essex, whose remnants include the ancient woodlands of Epping and Hatfield Forests. Today, set in gently undulating open farmland, it must look very different. The parish comprises numerous villages and small hamlets, most notably Great Waltham in the south, Ford End, Howe Street, North End, Littley Green and Broads Green. Approaching Great Waltham village from the east will offer the most distinctive introduction to the visitor, with the rolling parkland of the Langleys estate to the right. Langleys takes its name from its fourteenth century owners, although its origins can be traced at least two centuries further back. The estate and its Georgian mansion are privately owned, having been in the same family since the early 1700s. Langleys is not open to the public, but footpaths that cross the park offer some fine views of the grounds and house (seen here in an old postcard). Those walking the Essex Way, the long-distance path from Epping to Harwich, will find themselves traversing the park.
