St Vincent's Hamlet is a hamlet in Essex, strung along a lane under a mile west of the village of North Weald and about three miles east of Brentwood.
The M25 motorway carves its way through the countryside just beyond St Vincent's Hamlet; the lane towards Harold Wood crosses over the motorway to the west. Old MacDonald's Farm, a petting farm for children, is nearby.
The hamlet is said to have been part of the Rochetts estate which was the home of the famed Admiral, John Jervis, 1st Earl of St Vincent, who died here.[1]
