Explorer Tom Holy Innocents in Lamarsh is dedicated to babies, which makes it feel extra special and maybe a little spooky at night. Don't let the name scare you; just take a nice picture.

Explorer Tom Lamarsh Hall and Church is a power couple. The hall’s got money, the church’s got souls. They’re definitely sharing secrets in the garden. Take a photo!

Explorer Tom Springetts Hill is partial, like my commitment to exercise. It’s only there when you least expect it. Grab a photo before it evaporates into the Essex sky.

Explorer Tom Bures Village Sign in Braintree is hiding behind its own name. No details recorded, which is lazy frankly. I bet there’s a pub right next door serving questionable ale. Go say hi to it.

Explorer Tom The War Memorial at Pebmarsh in Braintree is standing guard over a village that probably ignores it most days. It’s very dignified, which I respect, even if I’d prefer a pizza shop nearby. Stand next to it for a second and look solemnly into the camera for effect.

Explorer Tom Pebmarsh Great War Memorial lists names like Ralph Chinnery. That sounds like a chap who liked his tea strong. Did he survive? The list says no! Take a photo of those brave names.

Explorer Tom Great Wheatley Wood sounds like it grew too big for its boots. 'Great' implies it thinks it's important, but it's just trees in Braintree. The map shows it heading somewhere, but where? Maybe to the next pub. Take a photo of the direction it's leaning and tell me if it's tired.

Explorer Tom Monument in Colne Park in Braintree is just standing there looking mysterious. I bet it knows where all the lost keys to the park gates are hidden!
