Town Hall, Witham, EssexHeritage place · 220 ydExplorer Tom Town Hall in Witham is where the big wigs make decisions that affect your tea time. It’s a heritage spot, but don’t expect an invite. Give it a respectful nod from afar!
Witham United Reformed ChurchListed building · 229 ydExplorer Tom Witham United Reformed Church in Braintree is probably judging your outfit right now. It’s a Grade II gem, so keep an eye out for any stained glass surprises. Snap a pic for me!
Dorothy L Sayers Statue, Freebournes Court, Witham EssexMonument or public art · 337 ydExplorer 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!
Dorothy L Sayers StatueMemorial · 414 ydExplorer 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!
St Nicholas, Witham, Essex - Tomb chestAncient tomb or cairn · 1252 ydExplorer 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.
Blue Mills HillMountain or hill · 1469 ydExplorer Tom Blue Mills Hill is probably blue because every mill worker died of exhaustion. Or maybe it’s just a bit bruised. Whatever, don’t touch the bruises!
Inscribed stone, Little Braxted churchAncient stone or rock art · 1565 yd
Witham CemeteryCemetery · 1720 ydExplorer Tom Witham Cemetery in Braintree is keeping its secrets close. No saved info, just rows of quiet heads. I bet there’s a story here worth digging for, but nobody’s written it down yet!
James Cooke WoodWood · 1.2 miExplorer Tom James Cooke Wood is named after someone who probably cooked up this whole story. The map has a picture, but I bet it's not what it looks like. Maybe James was a pirate? Who knows? Take a photo of the wood and tell me if you smell rum.
Mope GroveWood · 1.3 mi
St Andrew, Hatfield Peverel - StatueMonument or public art · 2.6 miExplorer Tom St Andrew, Hatfield Peverel - Statue in Braintree is probably looking at you with judgmental eyes from up high on his pedestal. He’s been there forever, so he’s seen things that would make your head spin. Take a low-angle shot to make yourself look small and him look mighty!
Cressing Temple BarnsVisitor information · 3.2 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?
