Panfield is a small rural village and civil parish in the district of Braintree, set in the rolling arable countryside of Essex in England. It comprises a cluster of historic houses, farmsteads and a parish church, with lanes and hedgerows that reflect its medieval origins and long agricultural heritage.
Although farming still shapes the local economy, many residents commute to nearby towns, and community life revolves around the church and village hall, occasional fetes and local history interests. Its quiet lanes and listed buildings make it a pleasant spot for walkers and anyone interested in Lincolnshire-style rural heritage on a small scale.
