Sheering is a small historic village in Essex, near Harlow and Bishop’s Stortford, with roots stretching back to Anglo-Saxon times. It was recorded in the Domesday Book in 1086 and has long been a rural farming community surrounded by countryside and waterways. The village is divided into Sheering Village and Lower Sheering, the latter lying closer to the River Stort and the old navigation canal routes. One of the village’s best-known landmarks is St Mary the Virgin Church, a Norman church containing medieval features and Roman bricks. Today, Sheering is known for its quiet rural character, traditional cottages, walking routes, and strong sense of local history while still being within commuting distance of London.
