Chrishall (pronounced Chris hall) is a small village and civil parish in the Uttlesford district of Essex, England.
Following the Norman Conquest, the area around Chrishall was given to Eustace of Boulogne, who built and occupied a house on a hill to the south of the current church.
[5] The church contains a number of monumental brasses, including a notable one in memory of Sir John de la Pole and his wife, dating from 1380.
[6] At the edge of the parish is Chrishall Common, a hill which at 147 metres (482 ft) is a County Top: the highest point in Essex, and also of East Anglia.
The barn attached to The Red Cow public house is the oldest building in Chrishall apart from the church, and is believed to date to 1500.
In the centre of the village lies Chrishall Holy Trinity and St. Nicholas C of E Primary School, Jigney's meadow and the adventure playground.
