History
Lindsell's length of history as an inhabited place is shown by Roman brick in the foundations of St Mary's church. The settlement's name means "Huts among the lime trees." However, further historical names include "Templars", which was named by John le Templar in 1313, and "Rakefairs", given by Robert Rekeviewer in 1381. The current name of the village had previous spellings such as 'Lyndesele', 'Lindeseles' and 'Lindezel.'[2]
In 1870, Lindsell was described as a village that stands on a small affluent of the river Chelmer, 3½ miles south-east of Thaxted, and five miles north-northeast of Dunmow Railway Station.[3]
According to the 2011 Census, Lindsell had a population of 260 people.
