Location:
Pleshey is an historic small village to the northwest of Chelmsford. It is built around the site of a former motte and bailey castle which was once the ancestral home of Geoffrey de Mandeville, Earl of Essex and one of the 25 Magna Carta barons. For a long time an important place in English history, Pleshey is mentioned in Shakespeare's Richard II with the line "With all good speed at Plashy (sic) visit me." Pleshey was also the birth place of Mary de Bohun, first wife of Henry IV and the mother of the future King Henry V.
At the hub of the community is the village pub (The Leather Bottle), the Holy Trinity Church and the Village Hall. A general store, post office and primary school are all in the nearby village of Great Waltham with other primary schools nearby at Ford End and Little Waltham.
The City of Chelmsford, about 7 miles away, is the County Town of Essex and offers a wide choice of shopping, restaurants, bars and sports facilities and is also on the main line into London Liverpool Street.
Pleshey falls within the catchment of some exceptional schools including Chelmer Valley High School (comprehensive) and the King Edward Grammar School (boys) and Chelmsford County High School for Girls (both selective and amongst the best secondary schools in the country). Felsted and its well-known independent school are just 4.5 miles away and New Hall School is also within easy reach.
