The parish is between [Colchester](/source/Colchester) and [Witham](/source/Witham). The village, which lies at the south-west edge of the parish, is conjoined to the neighbouring village of [Kelvedon](/source/Kelvedon). Within the parish are the hamlets of Stocks Green, Skye Green and Langley Green. At the [2021 census](/source/2021%E2%80%932022_United_Kingdom_censuses) the parish had a population of 2,103. ## Amenities Feering village has two [public houses](/source/Public_house), the Sun Inn and The Bell Inn, and a restaurant, The Blue Anchor which also functions as a hotel. The Blue Anchor was previously The Old Anchor which, on 14 July 2008, suffered major damage caused by a fire which required eight fire crews to contain and lasted over 3 hours.[2] [Prested Hall](/source/Prested_Hall%2C_Feering) is an historic house which dates back the 14th Century and which now provides hotel accommodation for special events. Large businesses have offices or trade points in Feering. The nearest post office and convenience store to the village is in Kelvedon; the Old Post Office and shop which was situated on the village green ceased trading in the early 2000s. The village has [footpath](/source/Footpath) links which run through surrounding fields and rural landscape. The [Essex Way](/source/Essex_Way) is not far from the Northern boundary of the parish. ## Transport Feering is close to the [A12](/source/A12_road_(England)) and [M11](/source/M11_motorway) (the latter via the [A120](/source/A120_road_(England))). The village has recently[*[when?](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Manual_of_Style/Dates_and_numbers#Chronological_items)*] been affected by the [A120](/source/A120_road_(England)) proposal to construct a dual carriageway to the north of the village. This extension of the dual carriageway section of the A120 will stretch from the current [A12](/source/A12_road_(England)) near [Marks Tey](/source/Marks_Tey) to [Braintree](/source/Braintree%2C_Essex). The [Highways Agency](/source/Highways_Agency) has not released information concerning new routes, which has angered some local residents, who oppose the new proposals.[*[according to whom?](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Manual_of_Style/Words_to_watch#Unsupported_attributions)*] From 1904 to 1951 the village was served by [a halt](/source/Feering_Halt_railway_station) on the [Kelvedon and Tollesbury Light Railway](/source/Kelvedon_and_Tollesbury_Light_Railway). ## Religion The ecclesiastical [parish Church](/source/Parish_church) of All Saints is part of the United Benefice of Kelvedon and Feering. The church provides two services, [Holy Communion](/source/Anglican_eucharistic_theology) on Sundays, and Family Services monthly.[3] The church has stood at the centre of Feering village for 850 years, and is an [English Heritage](/source/English_Heritage) [Grade I listed building](/source/Grade_I_listed_building).[4] Feering Mission is an independent village church, opened in October 1907, on Little Tey Road. It is part of the Fellowship for Evangelising Britain's Villages (FEBV). The church currently serves the local community, working closely with the Scope Home Drummonds, Feering Childminders' Association, and Feering Primary School, and has a link with [Co-op funeral services](/source/The_Co-operative_Funeralcare) in Kelvedon. ## Listed buildings Main article: [Listed buildings in Feering](/source/Listed_buildings_in_Feering) ## References 1. **[^](#cite_ref-2021census_1-0)** ["2021 Census Parish Profiles"](https://www.nomisweb.co.uk/sources/census_2021_pp). *NOMIS*.
