Bicknacre is a small village and civil parish in the City of Chelmsford district of Essex, England, set in a predominantly agricultural landscape with pockets of woodland and quiet lanes. It feels distinctly rural yet is within easy reach of larger towns, so many residents combine local village life with commuting to nearby centres for work.
Historically the village is noted for the remains of a medieval religious house, commonly referred to as Bicknacre Priory, and that heritage gives the place a quiet, old-fashioned character. Today the community is centred on local amenities such as the parish church, a village hall and pubs, with an active local scene of clubs and events that reflect its small‑village social life.
