The planners of Braintree District Council have, in the past, referred to the north Hinkford parishes as the Heritage jewels of the Braintree district. It isn't hard to see why: the parishes that border the upper Stour are one of the few unspoiled pre-industrial landscapes in Essex, rich in mediaeval buildings and landscape features. The villages still keep their manorial characteristics, and it is still possible to find the places mentioned in madiaeval manuscripts. It is no wonder that it has become so attractive for walkers and for recreation.

Each in the listing is linked to the details  on the Historic England site, each of which come with a map.
