Summary

It was the Reverend's son, John Wright, who was the purchaser of Kelvedon Hall in Kelvedon Hatch in 1538, which is the first known residence of Wrights in Kelvedon Hatch. But, prior to the move to Kelvedon Hall, some of the inherited lands in Havering had already formed the basis of the well established Wrightsbridge estate where the family resided prior to Kelvedon Hall. There, they were responsible for the maintenance of the King's bridge over the river, hence the name of the estate. The estate also operated a tannery on the river there and engaged in sheep raising, raising horses, and general farming. There was also property in the town of Romford which was passed on to later generations that appears to have been in the family since the late 1400s. All of this they owned long before the family bought (for 493 pounds sterling, 6s, 8d.) the tenancy of Kelvedon Hall from Richard Bolles, a descendant of the female side of the Multon family, who had been granted the tenancy of Kelvedon Hall by Westminster Abby in 1225. The local parish church, St. Nicholas, was located to the west of the manor house and was said to rest on the site of an original Anglo-Saxon church named for the patron saint of the Norse seaman. When Henry VIII seized the church lands in the area surrounding Kelvedon hatch, he sold the lordship to the Rich family of Essex. In 1547 Richard Rich was made a baron and given the Lordship of the Ongar Hundred, of which Kelvedon Hatch was a part. In a census of his new domain of the Hundred, Sir Richard Rich lists; "John Wright, yeoman of South Weald" as the holder of the tenancy of the Kelvedon Hall estate. This further substantiates the claim that the family's roots were in south Essex just prior to the purchase of Kelvedon Hall, and certainly during the lifetime of the Reverend John Wright.

Rev. John Wright, according to Morant's Essex (p. 121), was of White Notley and possessor of the advowsom of Upminster Church. He was also holder of the manor of Hoohall in County Essex.
