Witham, Historic market town in Essex, England
Located between Chelmsford and Colchester, Witham extends along the Roman road with the River Brain flowing through its center, connecting to the River Blackwater.
Archaeological excavations in Maltings Lane revealed human remains, an ancient trackway, and Roman artifacts including a temple and pottery kiln from the Roman period.
The town center features a statue honoring Dorothy L. Sayers, while her former residence displays a blue plaque commemorating her literary contributions to English literature.
The Witham railway station provides direct connections to London Liverpool Street, while the A12 road ensures convenient access for motorists traveling through Essex.
The Town Hall at 61 Newland Street transformed from the George Inn, a medieval coaching establishment, to a bank before becoming the administrative center.
