About

Margaretting, Stock and Ramsden are three villages in the Chelmsford district of Essex, set among farmland and country lanes. Each settlement functions as a civil parish with a village hall, parish church and at least one pub. Stock’s village green is lined with timber-framed and thatched cottages that mark the older core; Margaretting’s church sits close to the village centre and lanes lead out to surrounding arable fields; Ramsden (often shown on maps as Ramsden Bellhouse) occupies slightly higher ground with long views across the countryside.

The area is crossed by a network of public footpaths and bridleways used for walking and riding, and smallholdings and orchards sit between larger arable plots. Community life centres on weekend clubs, seasonal fetes and village-run amenities, and some properties are within conservation areas that guide repair and change. Road links provide commuter access into Chelmsford while local businesses and workshops operate from converted farm buildings and small industrial units close to the villages.
