Inworth Village

Inworth is typical of today's rural villages which have come to terms with modern living without losing their heritage or detailed beauty. The Parish Church of All Saints still stands in the middle of both the parish and village - the centuries have not moved the centre of population away from it as they have done so often elsewhere.

But - it is more delightful to read Inworth's description from a medieval entry in the Essex County Council Records Office:

"This parish comes up to the London road, near Feering-hill, and extends on the other side to Tiptree-heath, where it hath Common of Pasture. From whence the name is formed, doth not so plainly appear. The Saxon word Inne, signifies, as well as the present English, an Inn: But worth admit of these various significations; a way through a water or fiver, a mansion or dwelling house; a farm or field; and in general a manor or estate".

"The name is written these various ways in records, Ineworth, Inneworth, Inneworde and Inford"
