Historical Description
Epping is 17 miles from London; it belonged formerly to Waltham Abbey, and gives name to the extensive forest once known by the name of Waltham Forest; in which, according to Mr. Gough, a small earthen image of a child was found, and exhibited by Mr. Bird, to the Antiquarian Society, in the year 1721. The markets, which are held upon Thursday for cattle, and Friday for provisions, are kept at a small hamlet called Epping Street, which is about one mile and a half distant from Epping. The neighbourhood of this town is remarkable for producing butter, which is highly esteemed, and sold in the metropolis at a greater price than the butter from other places. The Forest, to which this town gives name, is a royal chase, extending from Epping to within six miles of London; it formerly constituted a very extensive district, and, under the name of the Forest of Essex, included a very considerable portion of the county. Hainault Forest, which is situated to the south-east of this, is conjectured to have originally formed a part of it. This last is remarkable for an oak, long celebrated under the name of the Fairlop Oak.
This is about one mile from Barking, and the tradition of the county concerning it, traces it half way up the Christian aera. It is still a noble tree, though it has suffered greatly from the depredations of time. About a yard from the ground, where its rough fluted stem is about 30 feet in circumference, it divides into eleven vast arms; yet not in the horizontal manner of an oak, but rather in that of a beech. Beneath its shade, which overspread an area of 300 feet in circuit, an annual fair has been long held on the first Friday in July.
This celebrated tree was for some time fenced round with a close paling about five feet high.
Almost all the extremities of its branches have been sawed off, and Mr. Forsyth’s composition applied to them to preserve them from decay. The trunk bad also received considerable injury by the lighting of fires by stragglers, &c. On one of the branches a board was fixed with this inscription, "All good foresters are requested not to hurt thin old tree, a plaster hiving been lately applied to its wounds." The annual meeting or fair here, rose out of the custom adopted by Mr. Daniel Day, a worthy but eccentric block-maker in Wapping, who, nearly an hundred years ago, used to treat his journeymen, his neighbours, and others, with a dinner of beans and bacon, under the foliage of this venerable tree. Mr. Day died in the year 1767, being then 84 years of age. A few years before his death his favourite oak lost a large limb, out of which he caused a coffin to be made for his own interment, and kept by him for that purpose. His eccentricities were scarcely ended with his mortal career, for having conceived some great antipathy against a carriage, owing to some accident, he ordered his remains to be conveyed to Barking by water, accompanied by six journeymen block and pump-makers, to each of whom he bequeathed a new leathern apron and a guinea. Some of these were probably in the habit of attending him annually to Fairlop in a boat covered with an awning mounted on a coach carriage, and drawn by six horses, decorated with flags and streamers, and attended by a band of music. The last vessel made for the purpose of going to this spot since 1795, had three masts, was ship-rigged, and was capable of carrying thirty persons sitting at their ease.
Among the numerous and respectable societies formed since the late revival of archery, the Hainault foresters were not the least distinguished; as the principal ladies and gentlemen of the county belonged to this association, and at stated times inarched in procession round this venerable father of the sylvan race. Their uniform was elegant, and they were attended by a band of music.
EPPING is a parish and union town with a station on the Ongar branch of the Great Eastern railway, 16 ¾ miles from Whitechapel, 15 from Shoreditch church, 18 west from Chelmsford, by Chipping Ongar and 7 east from Waltham Abbey, in the Western division of the county, half hundred of Waltham, Epping petty sessional division, county court district of Waltham Abbey, rural deanery of Chigwell, archdeaconry of Essex and diocese of St. Albans. The town consists principally of one long and wide street, seated on a ridge of hills; it declined considerably after the introduction of railways, but has revived, many new roads having been laid out and residences built. Since 1870 the town has been lighted with gas by a limited company, and in 1886 the supply was extended to Theydon Bois. A water tower, 100 feet in height, has been erected here, with a tank holding 28,000 gallons, and is supplied, under the Herts and Essex Water Works Act, from deep wells at Sawbridgeworth, Herts, near the Harlow station of the Great Eastern Railway Company: the water mains extend to Potter Street, Harlow, Latton, Netteswell, North Weald, Theydon Garnon, Theydon Bois and Abridge; a reservoir has also been constructed on Windmill Hill, to hold 140,000 gallons, for the supply by natural gravitation of Theydon, a part of Coopersale and Abridge; drainage works on an extensive scale have been erected in the town: in 1893 the High street was paved throughout, at a cost of £550.
Epping is governed by an Urban District Council of 9 members, formed in 1896 under the provisions of the”Local Government Act, 1894” (56 and 57 Vict. ch. 73).
There were three ancient parishes for ecclesiastical and civil purposes, viz. Epping, Theydon Bois and Theydon Garnon. By the “County of Essex (Epping &c.) Confirmation Order, 1896,” these three parishes for civil purposes were made into four parishes, viz.: (1) Epping, formed from parts of the ancient parishes of Epping, Theydon Bois and Theydon Garnon; (2) Theydon Bois, viz. the residue of Theydon Bois; (3) Theydon Garnon, the residue of Theydon Garnon; (4) Epping Upland, the residue of ancient Epping.
The church of St. John the Baptist, erected in 1832 and rebuilt in 1890, was constituted in 1889 the parish church in place of the church of All Saints at Epping Upland: the original chapel, built in the time of Edward VI. was then a free chapel of the foundation of Waltham Abbey, whose canons or chaplains supplied the cure: the new church, which occupies the same site, is a building of stone in the Gothic style of the 14th century from designs by Messrs. Bodley and Garner, architects, of London, and consists of chancel, nave, aisles and vestry: the stained east window was presented in 1890 by E. J. Wythes esq. in memory of his parents: there is also a fine carved oak screen: there are sittings for 500 persons. The register dates from the year 1839. The living is a vicarage, united in 1889 by Act of Parliament, 51 & 52 Vict. c. 152, to that of All Saints, Epping Upland, net yearly value £550, with some acres of glebe and residence, in the gift of Ernest James Wythes esq.; the vicarage of St. John has been held since 1878 and the united vicarage since 1889 by the Rev. Edward Buckmaster M.A. of Trinity College, Cambridge. In 1615 one George Campion left 4 acres of land, a moiety of which was to be applied for maintaining a preacher at Epping chapel; in 1791 John Walkley left £30 yearly for the clergyman; in 1772 certain townspeople pledged themselves for three years to pay for seats in the church, and since that time pew rents had been the only means for providing for the church expenses until 1882 when the offertory system was introduced. The Congregational church here is one of the oldest in the country and is supposed to have originated between the years 1628 and 1653, the present structure having been erected on the site of the original building in 1770: in connection with the church is a large room seating over 200 persons; in 1887 the building was thoroughly restored and heating apparatus fixed at the cost of £400 raised by the congregation: there are 300 sittings. The Baptist chapel, in St. John’s road, erected in 1893 by the late W. Cottis, has sittings for 200 persons. The Wesleyan chapel, opened in 1887, and re-decorated in 1898, has 300 sittings: there is also a meeting-house for the Society of Friends, seating 30 persons, and a meetinghouse for the Christian Brethren. The Town Hall, built in 1863, at a cost of about £1,700, and now the property of the Epping Town Hall Co. Limited, is used for concerts, public meetings and entertainments and will seat 500 persons. The Literary and Mechanics’ Institute, founded in 1894, comprises reading and smoking rooms and library containing about 500 vols. Epping has a weekly market on Friday, which is well attended, and 13th and 14th November (Holland fair, ) also for cattle and horses. Messrs. W. Cottis and Sons have an iron foundry and agricultural implement works, which give employment to a considerable number of hands. In 1887 a drinking fountain, surmounted by a lamp, was erected to commemorate the Jubilee of her late Majesty Queen Victoria. A lake of one acre to be used for bathing purposes was constructed in 1894 at a cost of about £200. The Convalescent Cottage Home, on the Plain, was opened Sept. 1875: it is a structure of brick, and contains 12 rooms, 6 of which are bedrooms, and is available for 14 patients. The charities of the joint parishes of Epping and Theydon Garnon being the net income of Stonard’s, Reynold’s and Rydden’s Grove charities, are divisible yearly in equal moieties amongst the joint parishes of Epping and Theydon Garnon, pursuant to a scheme of the Charity Commissioners approved in 1863 and also of a later scheme dated 21st May, 1901; the income of Stonard’s charity is applied for educational purposes and the maintenance of inmates in the Epping almshouses; the income of Reynold’s is divided amongst the poor of the two parishes. The local charities include Lady Wentworth’s charity, consisting of a farmhouse and land left about 1780, a sum of £100 Consolidated Stock left by Mrs. Elizabeth Walkley, and a sum of £269 12s. Consolidated Stock, left by Mrs. Ann Chapman; the net income arising from these is divisible amongst the poor of this parish: there is also a charity of £750 Consols left by Thomas Loft for the apprenticing of poor boys born in the parish.
