LOCATION
Wood Hall sits on the edge of the Essex/Suffolk border

There are a number of well established schools serving the region including Felsted Junior and Senior Schools near Dunmow, Dame Johane Bradbury’s School, Saffron Walden, Barnardiston Hall School, Barnardiston and New Hall School, Chelmsford as well as excellent schools in Cambridge. Finchingfield is one of the most attractive North West Essex villages with a picturesque
green and pond surrounded by a number of shops, a post office, two garages, restaurants and public houses.
