The Bridge over the Pond in the village of Finchingfield, Essex, UK


Described as picture-postcard pretty, Finchfield is an idyllic Essex village complete with village pond, redbrick cottages and a white 18th century windmill. The area is mainly rural and has been inhabited since records began. The Domesday Book, which was written in Latin, records the village as Phincingfelda but there is much older evidence of a Roman villa just south of the churchyard. The village was once an important changing place for horse-drawn coaches on the main route from London to Norwich.
