In 1870-72, John Marius Wilson's Imperial Gazetteer of England and Wales described Ballingdon like this:
BALLINGDON-CUM-BRUNDON, a parish in the district of Sudbury, and county of Essex; on the northern verge of the county, ½ a mile SW of Sudbury r. station. Post Town, Sudbury. Acres, 366. Real property, £4,392. Pop. 861. Houses, 190. There are two manors, Ballingdon-above-Bridge and Ballingdon-below-Bridge. ...
The whole tract was long a parish under the name of Brundon, and seems to have been part of the manor of Brundon, which in the earliest times belonged to the family of Limesi; but now is sometimes regarded as a portion of the parish of Sudbury. The living is a vicar age, annexed to the vicarage of Sudbury, in the diocese of Ely. There is no church.
