Dunmow
Great Dunmow is a historical market community and civil parish in the Uttlesford district of Essex, England. It is positioned on the north of the A120 road, about midway in between Bishop's Stortford and Braintree, 6 miles east of London Stansted Airport. Originally the site of a Roman negotiation on Stane Street, the town thrived during the Middle Ages. Numerous structures survive from this duration, including a sixteenth-century city center. Dunmow suggests "Meadow on capital". [4] The settlement was otherwise referred to as Dunmow Magna, Much Dunmow, or many commonly 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 significant participant, Frances Maynard, became the Countess of Warwick as well as later a mistress of King Edward VII. As the Prince of Wales he was reportedly a regular site visitor to the Estate, travelling from London on the train to Easton Lodge train station. The initials "CW" are visible on a variety of Victorian period homes in Great Dunmow. Known as Daisy Greville, Countess of Warwick she was a generous philanthropist in the regional community. Since 2018, Robert Nicholson is Emeritus Mayor of Great Dunmow.
