History
Fryerning and Ingatestone were historically two separate parishes. They had complicated boundaries with each other. The built up area of Ingatestone straddled the parish boundary, which ran along the main street through much of the village. Ingatestone parish also had a large detached rural exclave to the north of Fryerning parish.[2] In 1889 the two parishes were merged into a new civil parish called Ingatestone and Fryerning.[3][4]
On 1 October 1950 some land around Handley Green was moved to the parish of Margaretting, and at the same time an area to the south-west of Margaretting Hall was added to Ingatestone and Fryerning.[5]

There are three tiers of local government covering Ingatestone and Fryerning, at parish, district, and county level: Ingatestone and Fryerning Parish Council, Brentwood Borough Council, and Essex County Council. The parish council is based at 4 The Limes in the centre of Ingatestone.[6]
When elected parish and district councils were established in 1894, the parish was given a parish council and included in the Chelmsford Rural District.[7][8] The parish was transferred to Brentwood district in 1974.[9][10]
