Cressing Temple Barns

We would love to see you at Cressing and there is still lots for you to enjoy, not forgetting of course the very tempting Tiptree Tea Room.

Cressing Temple, between Witham and Braintree, is of supreme interest for its unique buildings and gardens. Given to the Knights Templar in 1137, its Grade I-listed Barley and Wheat Barns, built in the 13th century, are among the oldest timber barns and few surviving Templar buildings in England. Displays inside outline the history of the Templars and the site.



Among Cressing Temple's many gardens, the Walled Garden is faithfully reconstructed as a Tudor pleasure garden - one of few in the country. Cream teas at 'The Barns' Tea Room and picnics in Cressing Temple's gardens are popular. Cressing Temple can also offer a full wedding package.

Please note that we have now reverted to our Winter Operational Period. The small buildings will now be closed to visitors until March 2019.
