History
Bardfield Saling was historically a chapelry in the ancient parish of Great Bardfield in the Freshwell hundred of Essex.[3] The chapelry was also known as Little Saling, and became a separate parish in 1574.[4]
There are 31 listed buildings in the village, including the Grade I listed Church of St Peter and St Paul.[5]
In 2019 the parish was merged with the neighbouring parish of Great Saling to form a new civil parish called The Salings.[6] At the 2011 census (the last before the abolition of the civil parish), Bardfield Saling had a population of 193.[1]
