West Hanningfield is a small village and civil parish[1] in south Essex, England. It is located approximately 5 mi (8.0 km) south-south-east of the county town of Chelmsford. The village is in the borough of Chelmsford and in the parliamentary constituency of Maldon.

It is located to the north of Hanningfield Reservoir. Surrounding villages include South Hanningfield, Stock, Rettendon and East Hanningfield. It is also close to the Chelmsford suburbs of Galleywood and Great Baddow.

The local public house is known as the Three Compasses. The village also contains a primary school, a village hall and a hairdresser. It is the home of Lord Hanningfield, the disgraced Tory peer and former Conservative leader of Essex County Council.[2]

The Church of St Mary and St Edward is a Grade II* listed church in the east end of the village. It is of 12th-century origin, with considerable alterations made in the 18th and 19th centuries. It has a weather-boarded timber-framed tower, thought to date from the early thirteenth century, with timbers recently dated as being felled between AD 1382 and 1414. The bells were cast in 1676 and are a rare example of a complete 17th-century ring, although not operable for some time. The Church Buildings Council consider them of historic significance. A Whitechapel Bell Foundry report noted that the bellframe was cut to install the bells.[3]
