Faulkbourne is a small settlement and civil parish in the Braintree district of Essex, England, about 2 miles (3 km) northwest of Witham. The population at the 2011 Census was included in the civil parish of Fairstead. The name of the village (which was also spelled "Faulkbourn") is said to be derived from the Old English words "falk" or "folc" (meaning "folk") and "burn" (meaning "well").
After passing through several hands, the manor was left by Sir Thomas Montgomery to his nephew John Fortescue in 1494, whose descendant of the same name sold it to Sir Edward Bullock in 1637. The Bullock family lived at Faulkbourne until the turn of the 20th century, and included Colonel John Bullock, Member of Parliament for several Essex constituencies for 56 years. In April 1885, Princess Louise, Duchess of Argyll (Queen Victoria's daughter) stood as sponsor at the christening of a member of the Bullock family.[1][2]
