History
The Highwood area historically formed part of the parish of Writtle. The parish of Writtle was historically subdivided into four townships, one of which was called Highwood Quarter. A chapel of ease dedicated to St Paul was built in 1842 on a site at the eastern end of Loves Green and a short distance west of Edney Common, two of the main hamlets in the Highwood Quarter. Highwood became an ecclesiastical parish in 1875 when St Paul's was upgraded to being a parish church. Highwood subsequently also became a separate civil parish from Writtle in 1954. ==Governance==
