BISHOPS HALL WAS PREVIOUSLY HELD BY THE BISHOPS OF LONDON, WHO OWNED THE MANOR OF CHELMSFORD. IT WAS FIRST RECORDED WHEN WILLIAM WAS BISHOP BETWEEN 1051 AND 1075 AND LATER IN THE DOMESDAY BOOK (1086).

THOMAS MILDMAY, AUDITOR TO ELIZABETH 1ST, PURCHASED THE MANOR OF CHELMSFORD IN 1563. THE MANOR REMAINED IN THE FAMILY UNTIL 1917 WHEN THE ESTATES WERE SOLD. IN 1795 THE MILL WAS LEASED TO MARRIAGES OF SPRINGFIELD UNTIL THE OUTBREAK OF THE FIRST WORLD WAR. BISHOP HALL WAS DEMOLISHED IN 1929 '
