In 1870-72, John Marius Wilson's Imperial Gazetteer of England and Wales described Beeleigh like this:
BEELEIGH, a hamlet in the parish of St. Peter-in-Maldon, Essex; 1 mile W of Maldon. A Premonstratensian Abbey was founded here, in 1180, by Robert de Mantell; and given, at the dissolution, to Sir John Gate. Bourchier, Earl of Essex, and his wife were buried in the church; and this, measuring 36 feet by 18, and having groined arches, still stands, and is used as a farm-office.
Beeleigh is now part of MALDON District. Click here for graphs and data of how MALDON has changed over two centuries. For statistics about Beeleigh itself, go to Statistics.
