Panfield is a small village and civil parish in the district of Braintree, in the county of Essex, England. It sits in a largely rural setting of arable fields and hedgerows a short distance from the town of Braintree, retaining a quiet, village character rather than any large-scale development.
The village has a number of older buildings and a traditional parish feel, with historic houses and a church that reflect its agricultural past. Local life revolves around the parish community and nearby market facilities in Braintree, so the economy is a mix of farming, small local enterprises and residents who commute to larger centres for work, while occasional village events and a parish council keep a close-knit social fabric.
