Cressing Temple

About Cressing Temple

We would love to see you at Cressing and there is still lots for you to enjoy, not forgetting of course the very tempting Tiptree Tea Room.

Cressing Temple, between Witham and Braintree, is of supreme interest for its unique buildings and gardens. Given to the Knights Templar in 1137, its Grade I-listed Barley and Wheat Barns, built in the 13th century, are among the oldest timber barns and few surviving Templar buildings in England. Displays inside outline the history of the Templars and the site.
