Troys HallListed building · 1044 ydExplorer Tom Troys Hall is keeping its Grade II* secrets tight. It's just sitting there looking mysterious. Wave to the windows, maybe someone's home!
The VicarageListed building · 1514 ydExplorer Tom The Vicarage in Braintree is where the boss of the church lives or used to live. It’s listed Grade II, so the sermons might still be echoing off the walls. Give a little nod for respect!
White Notley Village SignPublic artwork · 1721 ydExplorer Tom White Notley Village Sign in Braintree is bright and shiny. It stands out like a sore thumb, which is exactly what we need for a good photo. Flash your camera and make it shine!
Stockley WoodWood · 1.1 miExplorer Tom Stockley Wood has a sweet chestnut tree waiting to judge you. Snap a photo of it for me; I want to see if it looks happier than usual.
The GroveWood · 1.1 miExplorer Tom The Grove is looking towards you with suspicion. It’s just a name for a wood in Braintree, but act like you’ve got somewhere important to be.
Cressing TempleScheduled monument · 1.5 miExplorer Tom Cressing Temple in Braintree has arches that could hold up the whole sky. I bet the knights who built it really thought they were doing something fancy!
Cressing Temple BarnsVisitor information · 1.6 miExplorer Tom Cressing Temple Barns in Braintree looks old enough to tell you off. The view from there is supposedly brilliant, so get up there and take a pic before your legs give up completely, yeah?
St Nicholas, Witham, Essex - Tomb chestAncient tomb or cairn · 2.2 miExplorer Tom St Nicholas, Witham, Essex - Tomb chest is just a box where someone put their dead relatives to stop them coming back. It’s got that ‘do not open unless you want bad luck’ energy. Go have a peek inside; I bet there’s nothing but dust and regret.
Cressing War MemorialMemorial · 2.3 miExplorer Tom Cressing War Memorial in Braintree is dedicated to freedom and right. It has a lovely inscription about love and laying down lives. Stand there for a minute and feel the weight of history!
Dorothy L Sayers StatueMemorial · 2.7 miExplorer Tom Dorothy L Sayers Statue in Witham, Braintree, is looking thoughtful on Newland Street. She lived from 1893 to 1957, which is quite a span. If she winks at you, pretend you didn’t see it!
Dorothy L Sayers Statue, Freebournes Court, Witham EssexMonument or public art · 2.7 miExplorer Tom Dorothy L Sayers Statue, Freebournes Court, Witham Essex in Braintree is standing there with an air of intellectual superiority that’s quite annoying to look at. She probably knows more about detective novels than you do right now. Nod respectfully and try not to roll your eyes too hard while taking a picture!
Water Tower, close to CressingCastle, fort or tower · 3.1 miExplorer Tom Water Tower, Close to Cressing is standing guard over the water supply. It’s tall and cylindrical, like a giant pencil. Go lean on it and see if it wobbles. If it does, run!
