History
The parish was historically just called Blackmore after the original main village in the parish. Following the significant growth of the former hamlets of Hook End and Wyatts Green, the parish was renamed to "Blackmore, Hook End and Wyatts Green" on 30 September 1998.[2]
Hook End and Wyatts Green are now both classed as part of the built up area of the neighbouring village of Doddinghurst by the Office for National Statistics.[3]
Governance
There are three tiers of local government, at parish, district, and county level: Blackmore, Hook End and Wyatts Green Parish Council, Brentwood Borough Council, and Essex County Council. The parish council is based at the Tipps Cross Remembrance Hall on Blackmore Road in Hook End.[4]
