About

Great Totham is a predominantly rural ward within the Maldon district, characterised by its expansive agricultural land, scattered settlements, and areas of woodland. The landscape is defined by gently rolling fields and the meandering course of the River Blackwater to the south, which influences the area's ecology and land use. The ward encompasses several smaller villages and hamlets, including Little Totham and Great Totham Street, which form its residential and community hubs.

The area maintains a strong agricultural presence, with farming being a central part of its local economy and identity. A notable local feature is the Totham Stone, a large sarsen stone located near the parish church, which is a remnant of the area's ancient geological past. Community life often centres around local institutions like village halls and pubs, with the overall atmosphere being quiet and closely connected to the surrounding countryside.
