Great Easton, Essex
Great Easton is a village and civil parish in the Uttlesford district in Essex, England.〔("Great Easton EP" ), ''A Vision of Britain through Time''〕
The village dates from the 12th century. Great Easton is about 2 miles (3 km) north of Great Dunmow, and the village of Little Easton is about to the south. It has a population of a few hundred people, measured at 1,035 in the 2011 census〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Civil Parish population 2011 )〕 and has one public house and a church.
==History==
The village used to be known as 'Easton ad montem' or 'Easton atte munte' to distinguish it from Little Easton. The suffix denotes the mound close to the church in the grounds of Easton Hall. It is believed to be the remains of a motte and bailey castle, around which the village has grown since medieval times. The mound is 130 feet (40 metres) in diameter at the base and 43 feet (13 metres) at the summit, and is 21 feet (6 metres) high. It is surrounded by a dry ditch 45 feet wide and 5 feet deep. The mound may have been pre-Roman, Saxon or perhaps a Norman defensive motte. It was definitely in place in Norman times, as this the period in which the name 'Eystone ad montem' appears. 15th century houses make up most of the village today.
