Quick facts
Finchingfield is often called the most photographed village in England, with its green, duck pond and humpbacked bridge all in one view.
A post mill thought to date from about 1756, believed to be the oldest surviving windmill in Essex, overlooks the village and opens to visitors on selected summer Sundays.
The Norman tower of St John the Baptist church, built around 1170, stands on a hill above the green, next to the 15th-century Guildhall.
