The ParishThe parish of Great Saling lies in the northern portion of central Essex, Great saling is located about 5 miles northwest of the market town of Braintree. Great Saling is located in lanes about 2 miles north of the A120 road which connects Braintree with the Hertfordshire town of Bishop's Stortford. Much of the village is located along a half mile stretch of lane running north to south (Grove Villas), isolated farms and cottages are spread around this straggly centre. The area is largely devoted to arable agriculture on what is, for Essex, an elevated plateau. There are few contours hereabouts except where land falls into the valley of Pods Brook, this tributary of the River Brain is headed southeastwards, the Brain eventually joins the Blackwater and flows into the North Sea through Maldon. Great Saling parish is small, typical for this part of Essex, it would have covered almost 1,700 acres and supported around 350 parishioners. In Domesday times Great Saling was largely held by one John son of Waleran and boasted just 2 ploughs as well as small meadows and woodland. |
