Cressing Temple is an ancient monument situated between Witham and Braintree in Essex and originating from the 12th century, when it was the headquarters of the first grant of land given to the religious order of the Knights Templar in England. The estate was granted to the Templars in 1137 by Matilda, the wife of King Stephen. The two barns and the templar well which exist on the site, originate from this period.

Local restaurants include The Fowler’s Farm, Il Salice, McDonald’s, and Pizza Hut Uk.
