LITTLE DUNMOW.
Little Dunmow extends eastward from the larger parish of the same name, and is
bounded south and south-eastward by Barnston and Felsted. In circumference it is
computed to he twelve miles, and is distant from Chelmsford twelve, and from London
forty miles.

Previous to the Conquest, the lands of this parish were in possession of a free-
woman, of a freeman, and of a sochman; and, at the time of the survey, belonged to
Ralph Bapiard, whose son Geofrey was his successor, and the father of William, who
joining the enemies of king Henry the first, was deprived of his barony and large
estates, which were given to Robert, son of Richard Fitz-Gislebert, progenitor of
the ancient earls of Clare, and from whom the noble family of Fitz-Walter descended.
