Ging ad Petram (the parcel of land by the stone) was a Saxon settlement of 430 acres and a dozen peasants listed in the Doomsday Survey as ‘belonging always to St. Mary at Berking'. It was to form part of the later parish of Ingatestone. It is unknown whether a Saxon Church stood on the site, but a small Norman Church was built between 1080 and 1100.The dedication is to St. Edmund, the East Saxon King, captured and martyred by the Danes in 870AD and canonised in 960AD and to St. Mary. These are very ancient dedications. From a reference about 1175-80 by Gilbert Foliot, Bishop of London, he appointed the earliest recorded Rector, William Fitz Walkelin, that the church was then known as ‘St. Edmund of Gyng'. The Manor belonged to Barking Abbey until the dissolution of 1539. The Abbey was a Benedictine House.
