This is the manorial core of Saling: the church and the hall. St James' dates from the 12th century, but its early details have been obscured by Victorianisation. The Hall is a 17th-century extravaganza in blue and red brick, with curvilinear gables.

Braintree Town and City Memories
Prior to 1935, all that would have been seen from in front of the church would have been the top of the church spire. In the foreground would have been a collection of dilapidated shops, and a large wooden maltings out of shot to the right. In 1935 the buildings, including the maltings, were demolished as part of a road improvement scheme.

Braintree Town and City Memories
