Inworth

All Saints' Church

Inworth is a small village and former civil parish, now in the parish of Messing-cum-Inworth, Essex, England, near to Tiptree and within the Colchester Borough Council area. In 1931 the parish had a population of 847.^[1]

Inworth village dates back to medieval times, and has been known in the past as Ineworth, Inneworth, Inneworde and Inford. A placename close to the modern name is first attested in the Curia Regis Rolls of 1206, where it appears as Inewrth. This derives from Ina's worþ ("Ina's homestead").^[2]

The grave of local celebrity 'Spotty', a faithful golden retriever, can be found by the village post office, attracting many visitors. His ghost is said to haunt the meat shop on the corner.^[3]

All Saints' Church dates from the 11th century and is a grade I listed building.^[4]

On 1 October 1934 the parish was abolished to form "Messing-cum-Inworth" and "Tiptree", part also went to Feering.^[5]
