This place is amazingly beautiful. It's a great starting point, if you wanna walk in the woods and fields around Braintree. Incidentally, it's where Keith Flint's funeral was held in March 2019. Here's to you, Flinters!

Stolen from their website: In 991 AD, Aetheric, Lord of the Manor of Bocking, was amongst those who led men to fight the Vikings at the Battle of Maldon. The East Saxon army was defeated but Aetheric survived until 995 and willed his lands at Bocking to Christ Church Canterbury. This became effective following his wife Leofwine's death in 1006.

The church has been rebuilt many times since Aetheric's days. It is a late Gothic or perpendicular building, dating mainly from the 15th and 16th centuries, though much restored in the 19th century.
