Pleshey is an historic small village to the northwest of Chelmsford and Cobblers sits at its heart. The village is built around the site of a former motte-and-bailey castle which was once the ancestral home of Geoffrey de Mandeville, Earl of Essex and one of the 25 Magna Carta barons.
For a long time an important place in English history, Pleshey is mentioned in Shakespeare's Richard II with the line "With all good speed at Plashy". Pleshey was also the birthplace of Mary de Bohun, first wife of Henry and the mother of the future King Henry V.
A general village store, post office and primary school are all at the nearby village of Great Waltham, with other primary schools nearby at Ford End and Little Waltham.
The city of Chelmsford, just under 8 miles away, includes a wide range of pedestrianised shopping facilities, restaurants, bars, sports facilities and is also on the main line to London Liverpool Street.
Pleshey falls within the catchment of some exceptional schools including Chelmer Valley High School (comprehensive) and the King Edward Grammar School (boys) and Chelmsford County High School for Girls, both selective and amongst the best considered secondary schools in the country. Felsted and its well known independent school are just 4.5 miles away and New Hall School is also within easy reach.
