Bardfield Saling is a village in the civil parish of The Salings,[2] in the Braintree district of Essex, England. It is approximately 5 miles (8 km) west-northwest of Braintree and is 12 miles (19 km) north from the county town of Chelmsford.

History

[edit]

Bardfield Saling was historically a chapelry in the ancient parish of Great Bardfield in the Freshwell hundred of Essex.[3] The chapelry was also known as Little Saling, and became a separate parish in 1574.[4]

There are 31 listed buildings in the village, including the Grade I listed Church of St Peter and St Paul.[5]

In 2019 the parish was merged with the neighbouring parish of Great Saling to form a new civil parish called The Salings.[6] At the 2011 census (the last before the abolition of the civil parish), Bardfield Saling had a population of 193.[1]
