Tolleshunt Major is a small, rural village and civil parish in the district of Maldon, in Essex, England. Sitting among gently rolling arable countryside a few miles east of Maldon, it is one of the cluster of Tolleshunt villages alongside Tolleshunt D'Arcy and Tolleshunt Knights, with a landscape of hedgerows, lanes and traditional farm buildings that speaks to its long agricultural history.
The community is compact and quietly village-centred, with local events and a village hall bringing residents together, while the local economy remains largely agricultural with a number of people commuting to nearby towns such as Chelmsford or further afield to London. Historic cottages and farmhouses give it a distinctly rural character that attracts walkers and those seeking country living within easy reach of Essex market towns.
