Hutton is an area of Brentwood and former civil parish, now in the unparished area of Brentwood, in south Essex, England. It has good links to Central London (around 20 miles (32 km) to the south west) via Shenfield train station which is just 1 mile (1.6 km) from Hutton. Brentwood town centre lies 3 miles to the west. The area can be split between modest housing estates and the largely affluent Hutton Mount. There are two wards named "Hutton" both in the Borough of Brentwood. In 1931 the parish had a population of 2142.
