About Fencing in Dunmow

Great Dunmow is a small market town in north west Essex, its history stretching back to Roman times when a settlement stood beside the road now followed roughly by the modern A120. The town centre retains a good number of older buildings around the market place, and the annual Dunmow Flitch Trials, an old tradition rewarding happily married couples with a side of bacon, still draw visitors every few years.

Types of Materials found in Dunmow

Great Dunmow sits within the London Basin on London Clay, the dense, water retentive clay typical of much of north Essex. This clay holds moisture well and can be slow to drain after sustained rain, though it generally provides a stable base for fence post footings once concrete has properly set. The surrounding countryside is largely agricultural, and many properties on the edges of town border farmland, where ground can be more variable depending on drainage history and past land use.
