Great Dunmow is a historic market town and civil parish in the Uttlesford area of Essex, England. It is situated on the north of the A120 road, approximately midway in between Bishop's Stortford as well as Braintree, 6 miles east of London Stansted Airport. Initially the site of a Roman settlement on Stane Street, the community flourished throughout the Middle Ages. Many buildings endure from this period, consisting of a sixteenth-century town hall. Dunmow implies "Meadow on the Hill". [4] The settlement was otherwise described as Dunmow Magna, Much Dunmow, or many typically Great Dunmow. Great Dunmow surrounds the former estate of Easton Lodge in the adjoining church of Little Easton, a country house coming from the Maynard household. The most remarkable member, Frances Maynard, came to be the Countess of Warwick as well as later on a girlfriend of King Edward VII. As the Prince of Wales he was supposedly a normal visitor to the Estate, travelling from London on the train to Easton Lodge railway station. The initials "CW" show up on a variety of Victorian age residential properties in Great Dunmow. Known as Daisy Greville, Countess of Warwick she was a charitable benefactor in the local community. As of 2018, Robert Nicholson is Emeritus Mayor of Great Dunmow.
