Mountnessing is a village and civil parish in the Borough of Brentwood in south Essex, England. It is situated to the north-east of Brentwood and south-west of Ingatestone. A large proportion of the houses are situated on the Roman Road between Brentwood and Ingatestone; it was formerly the A12 until the village was bypassed in the 1970s. The village is approximately equidistant between the two closest railway stations at Shenfield and Ingatestone. Its main attraction is Mountnessing Windmill.

Amenities

The parish church of St Giles is located midway between Mountnessing and Billericay.

An annual village fete is held in July. In the Windmill field, there is a village hall, cricket pitch, football pitches and tennis courts.

The village has three pubs (The George and Dragon, The Plough and the Prince of Wales), a butcher's and a hairdressers.

There is a primary school, Mountnessing C of E, on Roman Road.

Sport

The village is home to Mountnessing Cricket Club.

A short-lived greyhound racing track was opened during 1931, at Chain Bridge on the main London Road. The racing was independent (not affiliated to the sports governing body the National Greyhound Racing Club) and known as a flapping track, which was the nickname given to independent tracks.^[2] Racing took place every Saturday at 3pm, but did not continue beyond 1932.^[3]
