Mountnessing is a small village and civil parish in the borough of Brentwood, in Essex, England. Sitting amid low-lying arable countryside a few miles from Brentwood town centre and within commuting distance of London, it combines a rural village atmosphere of period cottages and hedged lanes with easy access to larger towns and transport links.
The local community centres on traditional village amenities - a parish church, village hall and pub - and an active parish council, with occasional fetes and community events preserving a strong local identity. Historically rooted in agriculture, Mountnessing today features a mix of farming, small local businesses and residents who commute, and retains conservation-minded residents keen to protect its historic and rural character amid pressures from nearby development.
