Sandon is a village and civil parish just off junction 17 of the A12 in Essex, England, adjacent to Great Baddow and close to Danbury.

In recent years these pits have been subject to an application to be utilized as landfill sites, but have since been planted on and are used by children as play areas and by dog walkers.

Sandon Village History: A settlement named Benedsteda was recorded here in the 1086 Domesday book with a population of eleven.

Sandon St Andrews is the parish church which was constructed around the year 1080 predominantly of pudding stone and flint rubble with an aisle added in the fourteenth century.

The west tower and porch were added in 1520 and may have been designed by Girlano Trevise, architect of Hampton Court, although this is by no means certain.
