Radwinter is a village and civil parish on the B1053 road, in the Uttlesford district of the county of Essex, England. The population of the parish in the 2011 census was 612[1] with 306 males and 306 females living in the parish.[2] At re centre of the village is the 14th-century church dedicated to St Mary the Virgin,[3] and a primary school.[4] The village has four outlying hamlets in the district of Uttlesford, between the market town of Saffron Walden (Essex) and Haverhill (Suffolk).[5]

In the 1870s Radwinter was described as:

The parish comprises 3,802 acres. Post-town, Saffron-Walden. Real property, £5,365. Pop., 946. Houses, 214. The property is much subdivided. Radwinter Hall, Bendish Hall, and the Hill are chief residences.[6]

There is much local history of the parish dating back to the 1800s. "The parish was once divided into Great Radwinter and Little Radwinter however this distinction is now lost".[7] There were also four manors in existence: Radwinter Hall, Brockhold's, Bendish Hall and Radwinter Grange. Most of what can be seen today in the centre of Radwinter is the work of the Bullock family; they were Lords of the Manor and rectors or Radwinter.[8]
