Stapleford Abbotts is a village and civil parish in the Epping Forest district of Essex.
The parish is mostly rural and agricultural with a scattering of farms and cottages, much of it is green belt protected land. The village itself consists of a straggle of mostly 20th-century housing stretching for about a mile along the Romford to Ongar road from the boundary with Havering-atte-Bower. The mediaeval church (largely rebuilt in the 19th century) is situated in a relatively isolated position a further mile away from what is now the village, reflecting the fact that there was no single nucleus of settlement until the 20th century.[1]
