Interesting Facts About Ongar

History of Ongar

Ongar was an important market town in the Medieval era, at the center of a hundred and has the remains of a Norman castle. The Church of England parish church, St Martin’s dates from the 11th century and shows signs of Norman work. A small window in the chancel is believed to indicate the existence of an anchorite’s cell in medieval times. The civil parish of Chipping Ongar was abolished in 1965 and a new parish of Ongar was created which also incorporated the former area of the Greensted and Shelley civil parishes.

General Info

Ongar Castle is a good example of a late 11th- or early 12th-century Motte and Bailey, although only the earthworks survive. The motte or mound is around 70 meters in diameter at the base and is surrounded by a wet ditch up to 15 meters wide. A kidney-shaped inner bailey is to the west of the motte and there is a second bailey to the east and the remains of a town enclosure embankment extend to the west. Ongar castle may have been built by Eustace II, Count of Boulogne who obtained the manor of Ongar in 1086.
