STOCK AND BUTTSBURY 1826 - 1827
STOCK is a parish situated on an eminence between Chelmsford and Billericay, distant six miles from the former, three from the latter place and Ingatestone, and eleven from Rayleigh. It is conjectured that this parish was originally no more than an hamlet to Buttsbury, being entirely surounded by it, except to the east ; where it abuts upon the parishes of South and West Hanningfields In some parts of this parish the soil is gravelly, but towards the common it produces good crops of corn. The church of All Saints, is a neat old building with a steeple of wood, in which are, three bells and a clock.There are besides a dissenters' chapel and a poor-house. The number of inhabitants in 1821 was 610..
BUTTSBURY adjoins the parishes of Stock; and Margaretting. Part of the parish lies a considerable distance from any high road, as does the the church which is small without a single monument in it. The population is about 500.
