The parish, which is wholly agricultural, is situated near the river Colne, and was anciently called Tykenham. It formerly belonged to the Shoreditches. The lands are chiefly meadow and pasture. The greater portion of the tithes were commuted for land under an Act of Enclosure in 1780, and the remainder subsequently for a rent-charge of £40 2s. 7d. The living is a rectory* in the diocese of London, value £382. The church, dedicated to St. Giles, is an ancient structure containing several brasses of the Shoreditches and others.
