High Wych is a village and civil parish in Hertfordshire, England.
High Wych lies two miles southwest of the town of Sawbridgeworth, which became a separate ecclesiastical parish in 1861 and a separate civil parish in 1901. It is about five miles from Harlow. Its parish includes Great Pennys, Trimms Green, Sacombs Ash, Allens Green, Chandlers, Carters, Rook End, Hoskins and Sayes Park.[2] The village contains a Church of England primary school[3] and a late 19th-century church, St James, with a marble reredos[2] and a Father Willis organ.[4] A moated site is all that remains of the medieval residence of Mathams.[2] There is also a Georgian historical house called the Manor of Groves which is now a hotel.
