Hedding is an unincorporated community located within Mansfield Township, in Burlington County, New Jersey, United States.[2] From 1793–1813, the area was known as Bryant's Tavern after William Byrant of Brian the proprietor. In 1817, the name was changed to Three Tuns as a sign before the hostelry depicted three casks or tuns. In 1847, a church was built which was named Hedding Methodist Episcopal Church in honor of Elijah Hedding, a Bishop of this denomination. Three Tuns remained as the name of the area until 1920 when it was changed to Hedding, named after the church.[3] The community itself is made up of single-family houses clustered around the main intersection in the settlement, Old York Road (County Route 660) and Kinkora Road / Columbus Hedding Road (CR 678); the remainder of the area consists of farmland. Interstate 295 runs southeast of the community but no interchanges provide direct access to it.[4]
