More about Braintree Essex
Braintree is a town of about 38,000 people and the
principal settlement of the Braintree district of Essex
in the East of England.
It is located at the junction of two Roman roads: one
coming from the county town of Chelmsford, about ten
miles or so to the south-west, and the other (known as
Stane Street) running westwards to Great Dunmow, and
eastwards to Colchester. Stane Street was a main road
(the A120) until the bypass system was built in the late
20th century.
In fact, there are two contiguous towns here: Braintree
proper lies to the south of Stane Street, and Bocking
lies to the north. The two together can be referred to
as "Braintree and Bocking", although most people just
lump them together as "Braintree".
Braintree has one railway station. Trains depart from
Braintree station to Witham, where the Braintree branch
line joins the Great Eastern Main Line to London
Liverpool Street. Service frequency is approximately
once an hour during the daytime. Nowadays the track
terminates at Braintree. However, it used to continue
westwards, through the village of Rayne, to Great
Dunmow, but this section of the route has been disused
for decades.
The origin of the name Braintree is obscure. It is
believed by some scholars that the name of the River
Brain came later, and so was named after the town,
rather than the other way round. One theory is that
Braintree was originally Branoc's tree, Branoc
apparently being an old personal name. Another theory is
that the name is derived from that of Rayne, which was
actually a more important settlement in Norman times.
Braintree was called Branchetreu in the Domesday Book.
Other scholars say the "Brain" element in the word is
accepted to be derived from "Brid/ Brigantia/ Bride/
Bigit/ Britain". This is the ancient Celtic, and
possibly pre-celtic name for the Goddess of the land of
Britain. She is the reason the Romans called these
islands "Britannia". She was worshipped all across the
North of Britain in Roman times. The River Braint in
Anglesey is another one of these names. "Tree" comes
from the Saxon suffix, more usually spelt "try",
denoting a big village.
The wool industry was important to the town for
centuries, but silk manufacture became the dominant
industry in the 19th century, thanks to George
Courtauld's silk mill, which he opened in 1809.
Braintree has its own museum, which contains displays
relating to the history of the town.
On the outskirts of the town, there is a fairly new
Cineworld cinema. Before that opened, Braintree had been
without a cinema for several years. There used to be one
in Fairfield Road, opposite the bus park, but that
building is now a Wetherspoons pub. The original cinema
was located in the high street (now forming part of the
'Townrow' department store). Opposite the cinema there
is also a bowling alley and various restaurants.
