History
History
The name Tolleshunt originates from the Anglo-Saxon Tolleshunta which means Toll's spring. Toll was an Anglo-Saxon chief who settled in large areas of forest, establishing clearings where water was readily available, and Tolleshunt Knights is one of a group of four resulting villages (Tolleshunt Major, Tolleshunt D'Arcy, Tollesbury Knights and Tollesbury), three of which bear the surnames of their early Norman French landowners (the Majeur, D'Arcy and Le Chevalier families). Prior to the parish of Tiptree being created in 1934, much of the Tiptree Heath area was within the parish of Tolleshunt Knights.
