[1] Fryerning is located in mid-Essex and has several big areas of woodland populated by several large herds of deer, which are frequently seen by walkers and cyclists.

[citation needed] The village has no shops, but two pubs: The Cricketers and The Viper; the latter becomes particularly busy during its biannual beer festivals.

William and Dorothy later went on to found Wadham College in Oxford, which still owns land in Fryerning and is the Patron of the parish.

[2] In 1936, a Spanish oak tree was planted on in the centre of the ancient Church Green to commemorate the Coronation of King Edward VIII.

Local resident, Charlie Cox[3] who was eight at the time, remembers that the green was about 50 yards long on each side forming a triangle.
