Matching Essex Map

About Matching

Matching, a quiet hamlet, unfolds its modest character in the Epping Forest district. It lies 4.6 km south-east of Sawbridgeworth (from Sawbridgeworth: bearing 130°T, OS grid TL 519 119), and is situated north-east of Matching Tye village. The lanes here, often edged with hedgerows that seem to hold the very breath of the countryside, lead past traditional brick dwellings, their roofs catching the soft, diffused light of the eastern English sky. A gentle sense of agricultural continuity pervades Matching, a place where the land itself dictates the pace, and the distant hum of rural life is the dominant sound. The air, especially after a rain, carries a clean, earthy scent, a subtle perfume of damp soil and growing things.
