Asheldham Excursions in the County of Essex by Thomas Kitson Cromwell 1818 Asheldam, bordering
on the sea, lies north of Southminster, about twelve miles from
Maldon. Asheldham Hall stands at a small distance south-east of the
church, and New Hall, otherwise Brockholes, is a little way east of it. In this church are many niches and places where holy water was formerly kept. The bridge called Moor Bridge divides
this parish from South- minster. The lord of the manor finds timber for
the reparation of this bridge, and the tenant of Moor Farm defrays the
expense of the labour.

the centre of Dengie Hundred, has entrenchments

probably of British construction.

older, the buttresses have evidently been added. A new and comprehensive gazeeter of England and Wales 1836 ASHELDHAM, a parish in the hundred of Dengy, county of Essex. The
