History
Barnes Mill, Chelmer Village (privately owned)
The estate was built upon the farmland of the historic Springfield Barnes manor, and included the former Barnes Farm, Prentices Farm, Horns Farm and Willshers. The River Chelmer flows along the southern and eastern edges of the suburb, the river also forms part of the Chelmer and Blackwater Navigation, while the development is bordered in the west and north by the A138. A number of historic features remain nearby the river. These include Barnes Mill Lock, Barnes Mill (now a privately owned home) and the Barnes Farm milking parlour, now a bar and restaurant (the Miller and Carter). Barnes Farm infant and junior schools also derive their names from the farmland they were built on.
Chelmer Village is also home to the Chelmer Village Scout Group, based at The Church of Our Saviour, Ashton Place.
