Tolleshunt Knights is a small village and civil parish in the district of Maldon, Essex, England, set in the gentle arable countryside and orchard country typical of mid‑Essex. It lies within easy reach of the Blackwater estuary and larger towns such as Maldon and Colchester, so it feels rural while remaining commutable to nearby centres.
The village’s name hints at medieval landholding and, like many small Essex parishes, it retains a scattering of older houses and a parish community focal point. The local economy is a mix of farming, small businesses and residents who travel to work elsewhere, and the area is valued for its quiet village life and proximity to coastal marshes and wildlife on the estuary.
