Great Yeldham is a village and civil parish in the district of Braintree in north-west Essex, England. Set amid rolling farmland and hedged lanes close to its smaller neighbour Little Yeldham, it retains a largely rural character with a mix of traditional cottages and more recent housing.
Historically rooted in agriculture, the village contains a medieval parish church and several listed buildings, and today combines farming with small local businesses and commuters travelling to nearby market towns. Community life centres on the church, the village hall and occasional local events, while nearby footpaths and quiet lanes make it popular with walkers and those wanting easy access to the countryside.
