About Fencing in Upminster
Upminster in Essex is home to two remarkable survivors of an older, rural past, its tithe barn and its windmill. The tithe barn, built around 1450 as part of the Augustinian Waltham Abbey estate to store farm produce paid to the abbey, is believed to be London's oldest thatched building, standing some 45 metres long, while nearby the Upminster windmill, built by James Nokes in 1803, is the last remaining smock mill left anywhere in London and produced flour for the town's residents for more than 130 years. Both structures now stand as unusually well preserved reminders of the agricultural landscape that surrounded Upminster long before it became a residential suburb on the eastern edge of London.

Does Upminster's clay soil affect fencing choices?
