Writtle b&b, guesthouse and hotel accommodation

Visit Writtle and the surrounding villages and stay in bed & breakfast accommodation:

Writtle, Essex. Now almost part of Chelmsford, it was from the village of Writtle that Marconi sent out his first broadcasts. He had come to England from Bologna, and his radio factory, the first in the world, led to the subsequent developments in telegraphic and broadcasting techniques. Here, too, is one of the most famous village greens in the county, framed by some fine houses and to the South, the Church of All Saints. The west tower was rebuilt in 1802 and the l3^th century body of the church in 1879. Among the monuments is one by Nicholas Stone to Sir Edward Pinchon (1629) — a remarkable work, with harvest symbols crowned by an angel standing on a rock. There are brasses in plenty, many of them 16^th century, and fine carving on stalls and benches.

On either side of the church stand beautiful houses: Aubyns, a half-timbered house dating from the early 16^th century, and Mundays, a plastered 1l^th century house. Excavations at King John's Castle brought to light traces of buildings of the 13^th to 15^th centuries, perhaps a link with the fabled palace of King John, and Robert Bruce of Scotland, who, legend has it, was born in these parts.
