Silver End & Cressing

About

Silver End & Cressing is a ward in the Braintree district of Essex, combining the village of Silver End with the rural parish of Cressing. Silver End was developed in the 1920s as a model village by industrialist Francis Crittall, known for its distinctive Crittall windows and planned housing. The area retains a mix of historic and modern homes, with some original workers' cottages still standing. Cressing, to the south, is a smaller settlement with a more agricultural character, featuring open fields and scattered farmsteads.

The ward includes landmarks like the Cressing Temple Barns, a medieval site with well-preserved timber-framed barns dating back to the 13th century. The area is served by local amenities, including schools, shops, and community spaces, while maintaining a semi-rural feel. Transport links include the A12 and B1018 roads, connecting the ward to Braintree town and beyond. The mix of industrial heritage and countryside gives Silver End & Cressing a distinct identity within the district.
