Felsted is a rural village and civil parish in the district of Uttlesford, north Essex in England, set around a notably large village green and a centre with many timber‑framed buildings and a medieval parish church, St Mary the Virgin. The village is best known for Felsted School, the historic independent school founded in the 16th century, which gives the place a long educational tradition and a distinctive architectural presence.
Life in Felsted remains rooted in agriculture and local small businesses, with an active community calendar of fairs and village events; many residents also commute to nearby towns and to Chelmsford or London. The combination of heritage buildings, school activity and a strong village community makes it a quietly attractive part of north Essex.
