Wenden Lofts is a civil parish in the Uttlesford district of Essex, England. The main settlement in the parish is the hamlet of Lower Pond Street. At the 2021 census the parish had a population of 63.
The parish church, dedicated to St Dunstan, was completely rebuilt in 1845–6, replacing a 12th-century building.[3] The ecclesiastical parish was united with neighbouring Elmdon in 1931.[4] Since then, St Dunstan's Church has become a ruin.[3]
Wendon Lofts and Elmdon remain separate civil parishes, but they do now share a grouped parish council, called the Elmdon, Duddenhoe End and Wenden Lofts Parish Council.[5]
