Tye Green is a small, semi-rural settlement in the district of Braintree, Essex, England. It sits close to the town of Braintree and the surrounding farmland, and retains the feel of a traditional village green with a mix of older cottages and more recent housing. The area is popular with commuters who work in nearby towns or further afield in London, while still offering quick access to local countryside walks and small-scale rural enterprises.
The name reflects the historic "tye" or communal green common to many Essex villages, and that rural heritage still informs local identity. There are modest local services and community activities typical of village life, and the local economy has shifted from purely agricultural roots to a blend of residential, small business and service‑based employment, with residents often relying on neighbouring Braintree for larger shops, leisure and transport links.
