MILTON, a hamlet in the parish of PRITTLEWELL,
hundred of ROCHFORD, county of ESSEX, 1 mile
(S.byE.) from Prittlewell, with which the population is
returned. This hamlet is situated on the coast, and
was once a distinct parish, which has been encroached
on by the sea; at low water some remains of the church
were visible not long since. Here are fine beds of
oysters.
