About

Tolleshunt Major is a small village approximately five miles north east of Maldon, in the Maldon District of Essex, England. It forms part of the electoral ward of Tolleshunt D'Arcy and is situated on the northern bank of the River Blackwater.

The Tolleshunt group of villages (Tolleshunt Major, Tolleshunt D’Arcy and Tolleshunt Knights) grew up in the area settled by the Saxon Chief Toll. The name Tolleshunt Major (or Mauger) was granted by King Henry VIII to Stephen Beckenham in 1544. The gatehouse and walls to Beckingham Hall can still be seen.
