Description
There is a small manor of Landuna mentioned in the Domesday Book which has not been located. On earlier maps Eastlands Farm is referred to as Land Farm which may be a possible candidate for Landuna. In 1383 it had formed a small estate held by John Downing. During much of the medieval period the farm is located at the edge of the marshes at the Eastern end of the parish. It appears at times to be held as part of Dengie manor and by 1473 formed part of Bradwell manor (EHER 45958). <1>
