More about this scene
Shelley is a parish north of Ongar, consisting of a Victorian church, a hall, and a handful of houses and farms. The Hall was built in the 15th century. Despite a restoration in 1869, it still retains some fine Elizabethan oak carvings. This picture shows its lodge on the main Ongar-Dunmow road.

Sparked a Memory for you?
If this has sparked a memory, why not share it here?
Was this the lovely little building on the south east corner of the roundabout at the top of Ongar ("The Four Wantz"?) as you head out northwards? It was allowed to decay and eventually disappeared. It had unusual shaped windows and must have been very old, made out of wattle and daub. Now the area at the roundabout has buildings all round and is hardly recognisable. There were some really lovely old buildings around Ongar when I was young, it had a real country atmosphere.
