The master plan for the new town was drawn up in 1947 by Sir Frederick Gibberd. The Great Parndon neighbourhood (as the area is now known). "Great Parndon lies on the western side of Harlow town. The ancient parish, lay 35 km. NNE of London and 5 km. west of Harlow village. A short branch of the river Stort formed its northern boundary with Hertfordshire. Roydon and Nazeing lay to the west, Little Parndon and Netteswell to the east. A detached part of Great Parndon, locally situated in Little Parndon, and comprising an avenue running south from Parndon Hall Farm, was merged in Little Parndon in 1883.
