Secondary Glazing Braintree

Whether you are a local or just passing through the East of England, Braintree is one of those Essex gems that perfectly balances its deep industrial roots with modern-day flair. From Roman roads to designer labels, here is why this market town deserves a spot on your weekend itinerary.

A Glimpse into the Past

Braintree’s history isn't just in textbooks; it’s built into the very fabric of the town. For centuries, it was a powerhouse of the textile industry.

* The Silk Connection: Did you know that the silk for Queen Elizabeth II’s coronation gown was woven right here? You can dive into this royal history at the Warner Textile Archive, located in an old mill.

* Medieval Marvels: Just a short drive away are the Cressing Temple Barns. Built in the 13th century by the Knights Templar, these are some of the oldest timber-framed barns in Europe.

* The "Gants": Keep an eye out for the "gants"—the town’s unique, narrow medieval alleyways that once buzzed with the activity of the cloth trade.
