Hempstead is a small historic village situated seven miles east of Saffron Walden in the north-west corner of Essex. The notorious highwayman Dick Turpin was born in the village public house. William Harvey, the man who discovered the circulation of blood in the human body, and Sir Eliab Harvey, Captain of the Temeraire at the battle of Trafalgar, are interred with many members of their family in the Church crypt.

From Hempstead Parish Council:
Dear All,
If you are a resident of Hempstead and need help with shopping, collection of medicines and other small tasks, please contact Diana Frost in the first instance on 07796 438137 or by email to diana@hempstead-essex.org.uk. We have a group of 30 volunteers that Diana can access to provide you with help and support which will be done by direct contact with you.
Watch out for scams at this time – sadly, there are plenty of them. Only give money to someone shopping for you if you have been introduced to the person by phone. If you need financial support, do not be swayed by text messages on your phone. The ONLY way to contact assistance is via the Government’s website www.gov.uk which you should manually type into the address line of your web browser, DO NOT click on links from search engines.
