About

North Witham is a small village situated in the Essex district of Braintree. The area is characterised by its rural setting, featuring open farmland and scattered residential properties. It lies close to the River Brain, with a landscape that includes typical hedgerows and quiet country lanes. The local community is centred around a few key roads, with housing consisting largely of detached and semi-detached homes. This creates a quiet, residential atmosphere away from larger urban centres.

The area's history is connected to agriculture, with several working farms still operating in the surrounding parish. A specific local landmark is the former North Witham railway station, a reminder of its past connection to the Braintree and Bocking branch line, though the station itself closed in the 1950s. The overall environment is one of a settled, agricultural village within the wider administrative area of Braintree, maintaining a distinct separation from the main town.
