Hastingwood is a hamlet in the North Weald Bassett civil parish of the Epping Forest district of Essex, England. The village served as Oliver Cromwell's armoury during the English Civil War in 1645. Hastingwood has large flint deposits which were utilised in the production of weaponry and armour. During this period the main estate of Paris Hall was rebuilt (1600).
The hamlet is centred on the junction of Hastingwood Road, which runs southwest to the A414 road and the Hastingwood Junction 7 of the M11 motorway, and Mill Street, which runs north to Harlow Common and Potter Street.
