White Notley is a small village in the district of Braintree, Essex, in the east of England, sitting a few miles between Braintree and Witham and close to neighbouring villages such as Black Notley and Great Notley. Set amid farmland and hedgerows, the settlement centres on its medieval parish church of St Etheldreda, which contains older masonry and hints of Roman and Anglo‑Saxon occupation that reflect the area's long history.
Today the community remains largely rural, with agriculture and small local businesses alongside a village hall and pub that host regular events; many residents commute via nearby Witham station into London while others work in Braintree or locally. The name "Notley" derives from Old English for a nut‑clearing, and the quiet lanes, periodic fetes and conservation-minded residents give the place a distinctly Essex village character.
