Welcome to Panfield

Panfield is a typical north Essex village some 3 miles north west of the ancient town of Braintree.

We have a mixture of both very old and modern houses, and a population of about 750, enough to support our local church and The Bell public house which has stood in the village since 1400; sadly we no longer have a primary school, as most village children attend the nearby Shalford Primary School.

Parish Council

Panfield Parish Council is the elected representative body for the residents of Panfield; each Member of the Council volunteers their time freely.

Always contact Parish Clerk for any council matters

We strive to improve the quality of community life through maintenance of the parks and open spaces, the purchase, installation and emptying of litter and dog-waste bins, traffic speed calming measures such as the Speed Indicator Sign, bus shelters and maintenance of footpaths.

Because Members of Parish Councils are intimately acquainted with the locality, they can be responsive to concerns and priorities raised by the residents of Panfield, and they can represent the residents’ views to Braintree District Council and Essex County Council

All Meetings are advertised on the Parish Council notice board at the Community Centre

Facilities

John Barr and Thistledown Playing Fields which contain trees, pond and wild life area; Panfield Parish Council has provided the play apparatus and benches, and ensures their maintenance and safety.

The Community Centre and the churchyard are also supported by the Parish Council.
