A short history of Stansted Mountfitchet
Stansted began as a Saxon settlement and its name is Old English for a stony place. Work on the Norman castle began in 1066 and the site is believed to have been fortified earlier. The Domesday Book of 1086 recorded Stansted in Uttlesford, an ancient hundred, among the many manors held by the powerful Robert Gernon de Montfichet, who came from Montfiquet in Normandy. St Mary the Virgin's Church was built in the 1120s. By 1290 the place was being called Stansted Mountfitchet, after its post-Conquest owners. The church gained a brick west tower in 1692. In 1871 William Fuller Maitland built Stansted Hall and the chapel of ease of Saint John the Evangelist followed in 1889. Within half a mile of the centre stand 67 listed buildings, among them the Windmill and the Church of St Mary the Virgin, both Grade II*.
