- Monkhams abstract "Monkhams is an area in the London Borough of Redbridge, at the northern end of Woodford Bridge. It also forms the part of Buckhurst Hill to the eastern side of the Central Line. The Monkhams Estate is an affluent area consisting mainly of large, detached homes.The manor of Monkhams alias Buckhurst alias Munckenhill was a small estate extended into Chigwell. William de Montfitchet endowed the abbey of Stratford Langthorn with his wood of Buckhurst in 1135 and this became known as Monckenbuckhurst to distinguish it from other beech hursts in the area. The estate was augmented by grants of land in Chigwell, but part of it was always in Woodford. In 1253 the abbot of Stratford was granted free warren on his demesnes at Woodford and elsewhere, and in 1291 he was taxed for temporalities in Woodford worth £1 a year. Early sixteenth-century references in the Woodford court rolls indicate that the land lay to the north of the Old Sakes (now Snakes) Lane. By 1640 the name 'Monkham' was used for some of the woodland between Sakes Lane and the parish boundary, but the original estate probably extended eastwards towards Rayhouse as well as including land in Buckhurst Hill to the north. It was never called a manor in mediaeval times, and the abbot of Waltham, probably as lord of the manor of Woodford hall, claimed jurisdiction over it in 1525 but, in 1630, royalties there were claimed on behalf of the owner of Buckhurst, and in 1646 it was described as a manor or farm.In 1547, after dissolution, Edward VI granted the tenement called Buckhurst alias Monkhill and the wood called Monkgrove to Alderman Sir John Lyon of London and Alice his wife in part exchange for the manor of Woodford Hall, Buckhurst was to be held in chief by one-fortieth knight's fee and Monkgrove was to be held in free socage. For the remainder of the sixteenth century the estate descended as described under Chigwell parish. During the seventeenth century it consisted of three or four tenement and about 300 acres and was generally leased in two parts. In 1612 George and John Lyon sold to property to James Holden who then granted John a 99-year lease of the larger part. In 1612 John Lyon granted the residue of his term to Thomas Hill who acquired the freehold a few days later. Hill acquired both the freehold and leasehold interests if the remaining part if the estate in 1631-32. In 1646 the whole property was again in a 99-year lease and this passed to William and George Nutt in 1649. In that year the property split up afresh when the freehold revision of the larger moiety, lying almost entirely in Chigwell, was conveyed to the Nutts. It was this portion which descended with the Nutt family and was eventually merged with the Luxborough estate in Chigwell. It included little Monkhams in Woodford which in 1838 was owned by Christopher Mills and let to Jonas Death.Possession of the other moiety, lying entirely in Woodford and including Monkham Grove, remained in the Hill family and there are various references to its members living at Monkhams in the later seventeenth and eighteenth centuries. John Hill of Enfield, Middlesex, felled wood there from at least 1718 until 1733 when he mortgaged his freehold. By 1735 Thomas North had an interest in the premises. He and his wife Mary, who were rated as of 'Muncomegrove' in 1738, built a new house. Their son Thomas Cox North sold the property in 1760 to Eliah Harvey (died 1769). In 1775 Harvey's executors obtained statutory power to sell it and they did so soon after to Sir James Wright of Rayhouse.Wright auctioned part of his Woodford estates in 1803: Monkham farm was bought by George Brown abd Monkham House, leased since 1795 to Mrs Pearse, by Nicholas Pearse, who conveyed it to Brice Pearse in 1809. The Pearse family had already acquired Hereford House, the adjoining property. Brice Pearse died in 1812 but his son, also Brice, continued to build up the estate. In 1814 he acquired Monkham Farm from George Brown and, during the next few years, various fields near Snakes Lane. Approval given by the justices in 1820 to divert Snakes Lane to the south-west enabled him to consolidate the enlarged estate, which by 1838 comprised the mansion, renamed Monkham House, Monkham farmhouse, the 'old farm-house', and 233 acres, mainly pasture. Pearse called part of his estate the manor of Hill House. The original Hill House had been in the opposite, south-east corner of the parish, but its name had later been used for the part of Woodford Hall Manor northwest of Monkhams Lane, in which area Pearse has bought land.".
