The parish of Messing-cum-Inworth is bounded by the parishes of Kelvedon to the west, Feering to the north, Birch to the east and Tiptree to the south.

History

Inworth and Messing were both ancient parishes in the Lexden hundred of Essex. Both parishes included parts of the urban area of Tiptree to the south. In 1934 a new parish of Tiptree was created, taking areas from both Inworth and Messing. The remainders of those two parishes were merged into a new civil parish called Messing-cum-Inworth at the same time, subject to some minor adjustments to the boundaries with other neighbouring parishes.
