Woodham Mortimer A topical Dictionary of the United Kingdom by Benjamin Pitts Caper and Richard Cooper 1813 Woodham Mortimer is a parish in the hundred of Dengie, Essex 2 miles from Maldon and 36 miles from London. It contains  252 inhabitants. The Rectory is valued at £13 4sh 4d Essex by J Charles Cox 1909 Woodham Mortimer (2 m. from West Maldon). The church (St Margaret) was recently rebuilt throughout. Some old work retained ; including deeply splayed Norman light over Norman door- way, timber framework (15th cent.) for west belfry and shingled spire, and parts of Jacobean pulpit. The circular bowl or font (2 ft. in dia.) is probably Norman, the shaft and base modern. There is a small brass effigy (head missing) to Dorothy Alleine, aged three, 1584, with coat-of- arms in eight quarterings, and quaint rhymed epitaph of ten lines. On the south side of the churchyard is an exceptionally fine old oak tree.
