Pebmarsh is a small village and a parish in the Hinckford hundred of Essex. It is situated to the north-east of Halstead close to the A131 road. The River Peb runs straight through the centre of the village, which gives the village its name.
It has a small village school, St John the Baptist C of E primary school. There has been a school in Pebmarsh since the late 18th century, however the main part of the present school has been open and in operation since 1967, serving the surrounding villages of Pebmarsh, Lamarsh and Alphamstone.[1] Pebmarsh has a large village hall which was built fairly recently to replace its run-down predecessor. There is a children's park in the vicinity, as well as a small skate park with three ramps. The population of the village is included in the civil parish of Twinstead.
Pebmarsh provides ample opportunity for walking through the beautiful countryside. There are many public footpaths, for example one that leads to another village close-by, Colne Engaine.
Notable people
- Sir Ronald Storrs, an official in the British Foreign and Colonial Office, is buried in the village churchyard.
