This is the new website for the Parish of Lindsell, which was launched at the Annual Parish Assembly on 14th April 2026. 

The website was made possible through grant funding from the Essex Association of Local Councils and we are deeply grateful to Councillor Kevin Bentley for his trust in our small village's potential to bring this project to life. Our sincere thanks also go to Emma Edwards of EALC for her unwavering support and patience throughout the process.

Welcome

Lindsell Parish, which includes Holders Green and Bustard Green, is a dispersed rural linear settlement in the east of Uttlesford about four miles north-east of Great Dunmow. The village stands high amid a largely flat landscape apart from the shallow valley of the Daisyley Brook. This offers wide and expansive views across the arable fields interspersed with mature native hedgerows, giving the parish a very rural feel. The village itself has no natural focal point, with clusters of houses here and there, but the lovely 12th century church and Lindsell Hall form an attractive setting.

The one-time Vicar of Lindsell, Rev Wilfrid G Lindsell compiled a history of the village in 1944 and his notes may be found here:

Modern-day Lindsell remains a charming village, surrounded by scenic farmland and offering stunning views. The village is home to around 120 houses, providing a cozy setting for approximately 260 residents of all ages. At the heart of Lindsell is the Church of St. Mary the Virgin, located near the Cricket Club and just a short walk from local shops, including a butcher, fruit and vegetable vendor, and a soon-to-open restaurant.

In addition to its residential areas, Lindsell hosts a range of businesses, including industrial and storage units, a pet boarding facility, and a well-established vehicle repair & servicing garage. The village is also home to a variety of clubs catering to different interests. Quite impressive for a village with just 260 residents! (You can find links to these clubs plus local businesses and services elsewhere on this site.)
