BARTLOW-END, a hamlet in the parish of ASHDON,
hundred of FRESHWELL, county of ESSEX, 2 miles
(S. E.) from Linton, containing 212 inhabitants. It is
supposed to have been formerly a distinct parish: in all
temporal concerns it is included within the parish of
Ashdon, Lnd is in the jurisdiction of the magistracy for
the county of Essex -, but, as regards spiritual jurisdiction,
it is considered to be in the parish of Bartlow,
county of Cambridge, to which the inhabitants of this
hamlet pay church rates, and resort to the parochial
church there. Bartlow Hills are four noted hills supposed
to have been thrown up by the Danes, as monumental
memorials, after the sanguinary battle fought,
in 1016, between Canute and Edmund Ironside, in which
the latter was defeated.
