Black Notley is a village and civil parish in the district of Braintree, Essex, set in rolling agricultural countryside and close to its neighbour White Notley. The settlement has deep roots - archaeological finds show Roman and Anglo‑Saxon activity and it is recorded in the Domesday Book - yet it sits within easy commuting distance of Witham, Chelmsford and London, giving it a mix of rural character and commuter appeal.
Locally the community revolves around the village hall, church and primary school, with occasional fetes and clubs bringing people together; farming still shapes the landscape while small businesses and commuters to nearby towns keep the economy diverse. The result is a quiet, historically layered village with a strong local identity and handy links to the surrounding towns.
