Latchingdon & Snoreham Excursions in the County of Essex by Thomas Kitson Cromwell 1818 Latchingdon. Here at a small distance east of the church we find Tiled Hall, the most ancient owners of which were the Grapenell family previous to the year 1335. Lulling Hall stands two miles north-east of Lachingdon church. The manor-house, called Hill House, in the south part of this parish, has been occupied as a fcirm-house for a considerable number of years. Snoreham Has generally been described as a manor-house by the name of Snoreham Hall. Of
the church, which was built by some of the noble family of Grey of
Wilton, there are only some remains near the hall yard. However, this
is still a rectory representative. A sermon was formerly preached
annually under a tree in the parish, but has been since discontinuecl. The present rector is the Rev. Tho. Ffoote Gower.
A topical Dictionary of the United Kingdom by Benjamin Pitts Caper and Richard Cooper 1813 Latchingdon is a parish in the hundred of Dengie, Essex 5 miles from Maldon and 38 miles from London. It contains 44 houses and 394 inhabitants. The Living is united with Lawling and includes a Rectory value £37 in the patronage of the Archbishop of Canterbury. Essex by J Charles Cox 1909 Latchingdon and Snoreham (2 m. from Cold
Norton) are united parishes; the latter has long
since lost its church (St Peter) ; it stood in the
stackyard at the Hall. Latchingdon old church
(St Michael) is 1 m. from the village ; the ruins
have been repaired to serve as a mortuary chapel.
The new parish church (Christ Church) was con-
secrated in 1857. At Lawling Hall, 1m. N.,
on a creek of the Blackwater, are the foundations
of a chapel.

History and Topography of the County of Essex - 1835 Snoreham This is a very small parish, taken from Lawling and Purley since the survey of Domesday.
The greater part of the lands belonged to the church of Canterbury, and are in the manor of Snoreham in Latchingdon, the other part is supposed to have been taken from Purley : It is distant from Maldon six miles, and forty-two from London. The church was undoubtedly erected by some of its patrons of the noble family of Grey, of Wilton ; it was dedicated to St. Peter. The inhabitants resort to the church of Latchingdon as being the nearest, and are there baptized and buried, and contribute to all parochial duties. However this is yet a rectory presentative, and a sermon is, or used to be, preached annually under a tree. The population is included in that of Latchingdon. Latchingdon
This parish and hamlet extends from Mundon to the river Crouch.
In records Latchingdon is also written Lacendun, Lachindon, and Lassenduna; and Lawling is also named Lallinge :
Distant from Maldon five miles, and from London thirty-eight. There is a fair here on the 2nd of June.
The church is a small plain building, tiled. It is dedicated to St. Michael.
