[3] In 1771 a writer noted that Stapleford Tawney and the surrounding area "hath but few houses in it and seems to carry on no other business than that of husbandry (farming)".

Samuel Threader invented the moletrap device and after he put it for commercial sale and made enough money, he built the ‘Mole Trap Beer Shop’ in 1871.

[3][4] There are no new building developments in Tawney Common, but the pre-existing houses are of 18th and 19th century origin.

Water was supplied by the Hertfordshire and Essex Waterworks Company in 1949 to most of the parish, including Tawney Common.

The lowest elevation is 90 meters above sea level and lies on the road away from Tawney Common, towards Collier's Hatch.

Tawney Common 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.
