Rettendon is a village and civil parish in the Chelmsford district of Essex, England. It lies about 8 miles (13 km) south-east of the city of Chelmsford. There are two main built up parts of Rettendon, 1.5 miles (2.4 km) apart, sometimes distinguished as Rettendon Common to the north and Rettendon Place to the south. The parish church, village school and village hall are at Rettendon Place.
The parish also covers surrounding rural areas and hamlets, including the parts of Battlesbridge north of the River Crouch, which forms the southern boundary of the parish. At the 2021 census the population of the parish was 1,967 and the population of the Rettendon built up area as defined by the Office for National Statistics (being just the Rettendon Common settlement) was 273.
The village was once owned by the Bishop of Ely. The A130 formerly passed through the village and now bypasses it to the west. There are a number of listed buildings in the parish.[3]
Education
Rettendon Primary School is located on the Main Road running through the village.
All Saints’ Church
The medieval All Saints' Church has a commanding tower and a notable hilltop setting, and is visible for miles. It contains a very large marble monument to Edmund Humphrey, dating from 1727.
Hyde Hall
To the east of Rettendon, the garden at Hyde Hall was donated to the Royal Horticultural Society in 1993 and is open to the public.[4]
Governance
There are three tiers of local government covering Rettendon, at parish, district, and county level: Rettendon Parish Council, Chelmsford City Council, and Essex County Council. The parish council meets at the village hall, known as Rettendon Memorial Hall, on Main Road.[5]
