Felsted (sometimes spelt Felstead) is a village and civil parish in the Uttlesford district of Essex, England. As well as the village itself, the parish also includes the hamlets of Bannister Green, Bartholomew Green, Causeway End, Coblers Green, Cock Green, Frenches Green, Gransmore Green, Hartford End, Molehill Green, Milch Hill, Thistley Green, Watch House Green and Willows Green. At the 2021 census the parish had a population of 3,165.
History
Felsted is recorded in the Domesday Book of 1086 as Felesteda, Felstede and Phensteda in the Hundred of Hinckford, where it was held by Earl Ælfgar as feu in the time of King Edward.[2] In 1086, Felstead was part of the land of La Trinité of Caen, who held four hides.[2] The fifth hide was no longer in this manor as King William gave three virgates to Roger God-save-the-ladies and the fourth to Geoffrey fitzSalomon.
The village has links to Richard Rich, 1st Baron Rich who founded the public school, the Felsted School, in 1564, and is buried in Holy Cross Church. Lord Rich was an important benefactor of the Felsted Church. The school also has links to Oliver Cromwell, who sent his sons there. The valley between Little Dunmow and Felsted was the location for the only sugar beet factory in Essex, which has been redeveloped for housing in a community called Flitch Green.
