About Great Baddowe: Great Baddow was known as Beadwan.(Origin of name "Baldwin" later in this family?The Doomsday Book records Great Baddow as Baduven. First recorded details of Great Baddow when Great Baddow belonged to Algar, Earl Of Mercia and then his son, Earl Eadwine until 1071. During the reign of Henry III, the Lordship of Great Baddow passed successively through the families of the Earl Of Chester and Earl of Huntingdon.

St. Mary’s Church history: Henry I gave the Lordship of Great Baddow to his son Robert, Earl of Gloucester. Maud, Robert’s daughter and wife of Robert De Gernon, Earl Of Chester founded the Priory of Reppington (now known as Repton, Derbyshire) and endowed this Priory with the advowson of St. Mary’s Church, Great Baddow as a foundation gift. This association lasted for 350 years until 1537.

The Lordship of Great Baddow passed down to Robert’s son William. ca. 1238. William gave the manor & lands to William de Mulesham (Moulsham). Richard De Badewe, born (in Great Baddow) of a Knightly family, became the Chancellor of the University Of Cambridge and founded University Hall (1326)

In 1390 the Great Baddow Chantry School was founded. Margaret, wife of Thomas Coggeshall, endowed the first “Chantry”, in other words, provided for a Priest to sing (chant) Mass for “the good estate” of her family at St. Mary’s and to assist the Vicar. At the Suppression, the lands and income were granted to William Mildmay.

In 1399, the Lordship returned to the Crown during the reign of Henry IV.

In 1440 the second Great Baddow Chantry School was founded. Thomas Kille endowed the second Chantry. He was Butler to Thomas Woodstock, Duke of Gloucester and then King Henry V. After Henry’s death he continued to serve Henry’s Queen, Catherine. In 1449 Thomas Kille died and was buried in St. Mary’s Church together with his wife. In 1509 Catherine Of Aragon was given the Lordship of Great Baddow by Henry VIII. In 1537, the links set up by Maud in 1172 were sharply terminated as a result of Henry VIII’s dissolution of the Monasteries.

This period is the most important in the Church’s history as it covered the largest part of the building phases of the Church as we see it today.

John Young, Prior of Reppington alienated the advowson of St. Mary’s Church to Francis Bryson.

In 1538 The register of Burials at St. Mary’s Church commenced with the first entry as follows:- "Clarke" family name mentioned.

In 1543 The register of Marriages commence in June 1543 with the first entry. The great Tithes came to the Crown and the advowson (patronage) was given to Sir Walter Henley who, in the same year alienated the Rectory, St. Mary’s Church and advowson of the Vicarage to John Pascall. This link to the Pascall family was to last until 1732. However between 1577 and 1625 some members of the family, during these Reformation years, did not completely give up their allegiance with the Church Of Rome, and were persecuted for Popery.

In 1583 the register of baptisms commenced at St. Mary’s Church in April 1583 with the first entry as follows:- “Suzannah Cook, daughter of John.” There are many entries relating to the families of the Paschalls, Argalls, Sir Henry Appleton,Bart and Sir George Alleyn, Bart.

In 1614 The wife of the grandson of the first John Paschall to hold the Lordship of the Manor and advowson of the vicarage in 1547 is remembered in the brass in the Chancel which shows a lady with a frill & a hood and has the following inscription “Here lyeth buried the body of Jane Paschall wife of John Paschall and daughter of Edward Lewkenor Esquire“.

Above the lady is a shield showing the Paschall & Lewkenor Arms. This brass was evidently put down before the lady died, but we can supply the date of her burial from the register which is as follows:- Mrs Jane Paschall the wife of John Paschall Esquire was buried May 23, 1614. Jane Lewkenor was John Pascall’s first wife; his second was Ann daughter of Thomas Mildmay. John Paschall died in 1624.

The brass was later removed from the floor and placed on the wall of the chancel probably during the alterations of the nineteenth century..

1639 A canopied Jacobean Pulpit Installed at St. Mary’s Church, which is the best earliest seventeenth century example remaining in the county. Its elaborate canopy has pinnacles and pendants and is beautifully carved. On the backboard it is inscribed ” H..L..1639..H..S”, the initials belonging to the Churchwardens of the time – Humphrey Lowe and Henry Stileman.

1732 Lord Fermanagh sold the advowson to Mrs Anne Percival of Clatford, Wiltshire.
