Sturmer is a small village and civil parish in the district of Braintree, Essex, England, lying in the valley of the River Stour close to the county boundaries with Suffolk and Cambridgeshire. It retains a distinctly rural, historic character with a mix of timber‑framed and brick houses and a medieval parish church that speaks to its long agricultural past.
Today the village is a quiet, close‑knit community with modest local amenities and a village pub, while many residents commute to nearby towns such as Braintree and Haverhill. The surrounding farmland and river provide opportunities for walking, fishing and enjoying the tranquil countryside, making Sturmer a peaceful corner of north‑east Essex.
