BISHOPS HALL- LOOKS LIKE ON OLD ORDNANCE SURVEY MAPS, HOFFMANS FACTORY OVER THE YEARS WAS BUILT AROUND IT AND EVENTUALLY RIGHT UP CLOSE TO IT. 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). THE MANOR, OF WHICH THE HALL, MILL, MILL HOUSE AND RECTORY WERE PART, WAS PASSED TO HENRY V111 IN 1545 FOLLOWING THE DISSOLUTION OF THE MONASTERIES. THE RECTORY WAS BETWEEN BISHOPS RD AND RECTORY LANE, IT WAS DEMOLISHED SOMETIME BETWEEN THE DATES OF 1897 AND 1921 FROM OLD ORDNANCE SURVEY MAPS. THOMAS MILDMAY, AUDITOR TO ELIZABETH 1ST PURCHASED THE MANOR AND 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. THE MILL HOUSE STILL SURVIVES TODAY. BISHOPS HALL WAS DEMOLISHED IN 1929
