Category:Latton, Essex
Latton was an ancient parish bounded east by ancient parish of Harlow and west by the ancient parish of Netteswell[1] and was part of the The Harlow hundred.[2]
Like Netteswell it was a long and narrow parish, extending south from the river Stort. In 1949 the northern and central parts were merged into the Harlow parish as part of the designated area of Harlow town, while the southern part was transferred to North Weald Bassett.
Latton's parish church was St Mary-at-Latton, it also had a small Augustinian prior, part of which still stands today.
The parish has a long history with many English noble families including The Altham, The Arkwright, The Burgoyne and the Lushington. The Althams' seat was here for more than 200 years and James Altham entertained Elizabeth I here in 1571, 1576, and 1578.
The Latton parish included Mark Hall and its Manor House which burned down in 1947. The manor house was first mentioned in 1270, but was described as ruinous in 1422. A new house was built around the early 16th century, as cellars of that date were recorded in 1921. Lord Morley, the lessee, was living at Mark Hall in 1538. [3] [4] [5]
