History
Great Parndon was founded by 1172, and was endowed at its establishment of Roger of Parndon and Ralph de Marci of Laver. It was a short-lived community, with the brothers soon moving to Beeleigh Abbey, Maldon.
Nothing remains at the site traditionally said to have been home to the abbey, which is now a golf course.
