Oyster Pits, West Mersea. The big elm tree gave nearby Elmtree House its name, known in earlier years as Elm Tree Cottage or Elm Cottage.
The property is recorded in the 1839 Tithe Map, field 281, owned and occupied by Henry May. In Henry May's will of 1894, it was in the occupation of Mrs Dames, and was left to his grandson Willoughby John Bean.
