About

Galleywood is a residential ward located on the southwestern edge of Chelmsford. It is characterised by its elevated position on a ridge of land, with much of its housing consisting of post-war developments and suburban estates. The area is primarily residential, featuring a mix of detached and semi-detached homes, with local shopping parades catering to daily needs. Its geography provides views over the surrounding Chelmer Valley.

The community is centred around the historic Galleywood Common, a large area of open heathland used for horse racing since the 18th century. This common land, with its racecourse and stables, defines the area's identity and provides significant green space. Local facilities include schools, sports clubs, and the Church of St. Michael and All Angels, which stands prominently on the common's edge.
