Cressing Temple is a medieval site situated between Witham and Braintree in Essex,[1] close to the villages of Cressing and White Notley. It was amongst the very earliest and largest of the possessions of the Knights Templar in England,[2][3] and is currently open to the public as a visitor attraction.[4]
The site has protection as an ancient monument. The Knights Templar built two barns which are preserved as Grade I listed buildings; one of these medieval barns is claimed to be the oldest standing timber-framed barn in the world.[1][3][5][6][7]
