The village of Fyfield has a local shop/post office and two pubs, The Queens Head and The Black Bull. Chipping Ongar has an excellent choice of local boutique shops together with supermarkets (Tesco and Sainsbury). More extensive shopping facilities can be found at Epping, Chelmsford and Brentwood. A beautifully presented country house and barn in 0.6 acres Rail commuters can choose between Epping, Harlow, Shenfield and Chelmsford. Close by is junction 7 of the M11 which interconnects with the M25. There is a primary school in Ongar and Moreton with nearby schools including Coopersale Hall, Chigwell, Bancrofts and The Forest, whilst further afield are Felsted, New Hall and Brentwood (with a coach pick up/drop off close by), Bishops Stortford College, Heathmount and Haileybury. From September 2015 a brand new 11-18 mixed community school will open in Ongar, The Ongar Academy. Description As mentioned previously, Tannerwhites House occupies a lovely position amidst open countryside on the immediate outskirts of Fyfield village. Internally the accommodation is versatile and arranged over three floors. Notable rooms include two individual reception rooms, both with exposed timbers, floor boards and views over the gardens and adjoining farmland. Beyond lies a well appointed kitchen/breakfast room finished with cream coloured Shaker-style units topped with wood block style working surfaces. Further ground floor accommodation includes a study, utility room and ground floor cloakroom. On the first floor, all of the bedrooms enjoy lovely views over the adjoining countryside; the master bedroom has a semi-vaulted ceiling with exposed trusses and floor boards, en suite dressing room and bathroom. There are two further bathrooms on this floor and one en suite. The second floor, which does have restricted head height, provides a bathroom, occasional bedroom and a very useful store room. Barn Adjoining the house is an L-Shaped detached weatherboard barn extending to 1,365 square feet which was formally used as a cattery and still has planning permission to be used as such by owners of Tannerwhites House. The business has ceased and the barn is now presented in lovely condition and incorporates a treble garage, kitchen area, utility room, WC facilities and one large room with full glazed doors overlooking a private garden area. This barn would make an ideal annexe or a separate dwelling subject to obtaining the necessary planning permissions from Epping District Council.

Maps © and database Crown copyright & Landmark Information Group All rights reserved. May 2011. 3 4 SUMMARY. This Report presents the results of the field survey of the operating railway line between Shenfield and Southminster. A companion Report is published for the two now-discontinued railway branches from Witham to Maldon, and from Woodham Ferrers to Maldon. Fieldwork was carried out between April and August 2007. The purpose of the Survey was to detail what survives of the structures of these lines and their accompanying works including buildings, bridges, embankments, cuttings and subsiduary constructions, to review the statutory designations and to suggest possible further usage for the lines. INTRODUCTION. Much of the track line and adjacent land of the two discontinued lines is in private or corporate ownership and is publicly accessible only where it is crossed by public roads and paths. Small parts have been developed by Local Councils as “Trails” as a public amenity. There are two Nature Reserves. Where building development has been permitted on the former track, some recognition of the former alignment is still recognisable by the line of streets, footpaths and land/property boundaries.

  • Parish Profile St Mary's Church, Shenfield May 2008
    The Parish Church of St Mary the Virgin Shenfield, Essex Our Parish Profile Welcome to St Mary the Virgin, where Christians have learnt to love and worship God for hundreds of years Please visit our website: http://www.stmaryschurch-shenfield.org.uk/ The Diocese: A message from Bishop Stephen In the Chelmsford Diocese we believe that God is calling his church to be a transforming presence. Our vision is that the church - that is the people of God here in Essex and East London - should be a transforming presence in every one of our parishes. These are our priorities – To inhabit the world distinctively To evangelise effectively To hold ourselves accountable to one another and to God for the stewardship of the gospel To re-imagine the way we minister so that each ordained minister and each individual Christian discovers their part in God’s ministry and so that each church flourishes. To this end we are looking for priests who are excited by this vision of becoming a church which is itself transformed, and which is becoming a more visible and effective presence in the huge diversity of communities that make up this most exciting and energetic part of England. There are many challenges ahead of us. We are a diocese generously subsidised by the national church. We need to become financially self- sufficient. Leadership often seems distant. We are creating patterns of leadership that are closer to the parishes. And we are looking to develop missionary leadership at all levels of church life. Nearly half our clergy will retire in the next ten years.
