Cressing Temple

Essex County Council have confirmed the re-opening on this park from Thursday 21st May 2020.

Cressing Temple, between Witham and Braintree, is of supreme interest for its unique buildings and gardens. Given to the Knights Templar in 1137, its Grade I-listed Barley and Wheat Barns, built in the 13th century, are among the oldest timber barns and few surviving Templar buildings in England. Displays inside outline the history of the Templars and the site.

Admission and parking at Cressing Temple is usually free. There may be admission charges if there’s an event on – please check closure and restricted access days.
