In the Neighbourhood
Chipping Ongar — a Historic Essex Market Town
Chipping Ongar is one of Essex's most characterful small towns. Its High Street is lined with more than 70 listed buildings within a conservation area designated by Essex County Council — a reminder of a market town whose roots go back to the 12th-century Ongar Castle. Nearby Greensted Church, in the village of Greensted, is believed to be the oldest wooden church in the world. And the Epping Ongar Railway — a preserved heritage line — is a local institution, offering steam journeys through the Essex countryside. Ongar is a place that takes its history seriously. That same sense of care and craft is what we bring to looking after your hearing.
