Overview of Braintree

The town of Braintree is located North East of Gatwick airport a distance of 71 miles that would take around 1 hour 25 minutes by taxi via the M25, A12 and A131.

The town was called Brantry and Branchetreu in the Domesday book which meant 'town by the river'.

The town dates back over 4000 years when it began as a small rural village and after the Romans left Britain it later prospered as a market town increasing in size around the 17th Century with inhabitants working the wool and cloth Trade. The Plague nearly halved the population of 2,300 people. In the 19th Century George Courtauld opened a silk mill in the town and with the family generously built up the town developing the economy through manufacturing and supporting the constuction of the public buildings in the town. The establishment of the Railway line added to the prosperity of the town as it still does today with connections into London.

Today the town has a museum at the centre called Braintree District Museum and the historic market that was established in 1199 is still held twice a week. There are many attractive shops in the the town centre aswell as the retail park on the outskirts of the town.
