Mistley
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Mistley is a large village and civil parish in the Tendring district of northeast Essex. It is around 11 miles northeast of Colchester and is east of, and almost contiguous with Manningtree. The parish consists of Mistley and New Mistley both lying beside the Stour Estuary and Mistley Heath a kilometre to the south. It is served by Mistley railway station on the Mayflower Line.
In a somewhat contradictory fashion, the map openly marks a Secret Bunker. This was built in 1951 as one of five Cold War control rooms in Essex. It was open as a museum for a few years but closed in 2002.
MIstley is the village where Mathew Hopkins, the witchfinder general, was most active. He stayed in The Thorn hotel, on Mistley High Street.
Mistley Cricket Club plays its home games in New Road, next to the church. New players are always welcomed.
