Village Details.
Rayne (UK) is a pleasant village of three thousand residents, located in the
Braintree District of rural North West Essex. It is to be found situated along
the old Roman Stane Street from Colchester to Braughing (near Buntingford) and
now by-passed by the new A120. Approximately three miles to the east is the
historic market town of Braintree. The transport system provides easy access to
Colchester, Chelmsford, Cambridge and London and access to international
destinations via Stansted airport, some 16 miles distant.
The village is rich in history with several farms listed in the Doomsday Book.
All Saints Church, with its Tudor tower, built in 1510 by a member of the Capel
family, is a fine example of Tudor brickwork with an original wooden clock face
hidden behind the present one.
A map of the area administered by the Parish Council can be opened here..
