Wickham St. Paul is a small village and civil parish in the district of Braintree, Essex, England. It sits amid rolling farmland and hedgerow-lined lanes typical of rural north‑west Essex, with a parish church dedicated to St Paul that hints at medieval origins and a scattering of traditional cottages and farm buildings.
The local economy remains largely agricultural, though many people commute to nearby towns such as Braintree and Colchester for work. Community life centres on the church, village hall and parish activities, giving the place a close‑knit, quietly historic feel that is representative of the traditional Essex village experience.
