==History== Foxearth is an ancient settlement in north Essex. The parish is about in circumference; from Sudbury seven from Halstead, and from London. The lands are very good loamy clay soil. Foxearth has always been predominantly agricultural, and had its own watermill that originally fell within a separate parish, Weston, until the year 1286, when the two manors became united.
