History

People first settled by the Prittle Brook in stone-age times, and stayed through to the time of the Roman occupation when a villa was built in what is now Priory Park. The Romans brought with them all the benefits of their civilisation which would have transformed the local village. However, being on the east cost, the village increasingly fell to Saxon raids after the Romans left. The Saxons settled in the 5th and 6th century and gave the village a Saxon name, Prittleuuella. Archaeological finds from this time include a tomb containing artifacts of such quality that it is believed that they are one of the Saxon Kings of Essex who converted to Christianity. In the 7th century, a church was built on the hill to the south of the brook and spring, of which an arch remains in the currently standing church.
