Nazeing
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Nazeing is a large village in Essex located on the outskirts of Harlow. Nazeing is home to a golf course and many pubs. It forms a civil parish of the Epping Forest district.
Many consider 1971 and 1972 to be Nazeing's finest years as it won the 'England's Greatest Village' competition for the two consecutive years. The only village to ever win the award twice in a row.
Nazeing was once the largest village in England. Despite not having a huge amount of houses, the many fields made up for the large area.
The village has two places of worship. 'All Saints' church is by far the oldest of the two. There is also the modern 'St Giles Parish' found in lower Nazeing.
Recently the Total Petrol station was bought by Nazeing Parish Council and there are plans for it to be made into a community hall.
