Chelmer village

Chelmer village

Chelmer Village is a suburb in the east of Chelmsford (Essex, England).

The development was created by Countryside Residential PLC in the 1980s using an holistic approach to create a self-contained community. It comprises a variety of modern suburban dwellings, the Chelmer Village Retail Park and Dukes Park Industrial Estate.

History

The community was built upon an area of farmland that included Barnes Farm, Prentices Farm, Horns Farm and Willshers. The River Chelmer flows along the southern edge of the suburb, forming part of the Chelmer and Blackwater Navigation. A number of historic features remain nearby the river. These include Barnes Lock, Barnes Mill (now a privately owned home) and the Barnes Farm milking parlour, now a bar and restaurant. 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.
