Colliers Hatch, is a hamlet in the civil parish of Stapleford Tawney in the Epping Forest district of the county of Essex, England.

[3] In pre-medieval times, Colliers Hatch became a source of charcoal to the capital, London.

Bread ovens were called 'colliers' and many were found in the surrounding woods in the local area, hence the name, Collier's Hatch.

These enclosed parks were used for the hunting of deer, boar and other wild animals, traditionally adjacent to a manor.

Ongar Park Pale as a hunting ground is defined by its upstanding earthwork banks and partly buried ditches.

Archaeology around the area has found artifactual and environmental evidence of a deer park and hunting ground.

A spur of the ditch extending 4m beyond the outer edge of the western arm of the moat may have served as a watering place for cattle from the adjacent fields.

Alongside this, Tawney Hatch, another house was erected in this era and granted Grade II listed status in 1984.

Colliers Hatch is represented at Westminster by Alex Burghart, MP for Brentwood and Ongar.

It lies in the Passingford Ward of Epping Forest District Council's representative areas.

This result makes Ongar and Rural the second most Conservative supporting area in Essex, behind North Weald and Nazeing.

The hamlet of Colliers Hatch is governed locally by the Stapleford Tawney Parish council.
