Stisted is a small rural village and civil parish in the district of Braintree, in the county of Essex in eastern England. It sits amid gently rolling arable farmland and pockets of ancient woodland typical of north‑west Essex, with larger towns such as Braintree, Witham and Chelmsford within easy reach and London accessible for commuters.
The village retains a historic, agricultural character - reflected in its parish church and several older buildings - but now blends farming with a residential community of people working locally or commuting out. Social life is centred on community facilities and events, and the surrounding lanes and footpaths make Stisted a quiet spot popular with walkers and those interested in Essex countryside and local history.
