History

Great Holland was an ancient parish in the Tendring hundred of Essex. The parish was abolished in 1934, when its area was merged with the neighbouring parish of Kirby-le-Soken and the two urban districts of Frinton-on-Sea and Walton-on-the-Naze to become a new urban district called Frinton and Walton. At the 1931 census, Great Holland had a population of 623.
