[1] A notable building in Bobbingworth is Blake Hall, which, after the bombing of the North Weald Aerodrome in September 1940 (during the Second World War) became the R.A.F.
Blake Hall tube station, now closed and to the south of the village, was named after the building.
Bobbingworth School and adjacent teacher's residence, since closed and converted into residential property, was built in 1855-6 by the Capel Cure family, who own Blake Hall.
In 1871, however, the pupils included 18 boys, an addition made possibly in anticipation of the requirements of the Education Act.
An inspector, visiting it in 1896, found the buildings in good repair but the scholastic standard low.
