Braintree is a town bursting with history, with a number of the roads coinciding with the names of people who fought for their home turf. One of the most notable is Aetheric Road, named after the Saxon noblemen who died in the Battle of Maldon.

The pretty town has lots of character with quaint old streets. The oldest part of the town is the Bocking End area where some buildings still have exposed wooden beams. You can also find the oldest medieval barns still standing in the UK.

However, it’s not just the buildings and the streets of Braintree that have a story to tell. Past residence include the 17th Century naturist John Ray and Richard Bradley who in 1701 became the first man in the UK to own a crocodile.
