Black Notley is a small village and civil parish in the district of Braintree, in Essex, England, lying just south of the town of Braintree and close to the newer housing area of Great Notley. The village occupies gently rolling Essex countryside and, while still retaining a rural feel, sits within easy reach of local road links and rail stations at Witham, making it a popular spot for commuters heading towards London or the nearby towns.
Historically agricultural, Black Notley has a medieval parish church at its heart and a tightâknit community with village groups and occasional local events; many original cottages and farm buildings speak to its past even as some residents now work in retail and light industry in the surrounding area. The juxtaposition of historic charm and modern commuting links gives the village a quietly mixed cultural and economic character.
