Great Slamseys Farm
Farm
Great Slamseys is one of the commercial arable farms run by P H Wheaton & Co (Farms) Ltd, growing wheat, oilseed rape, barley, beans, grass, willow trees and Christmas trees.
Slamondesheia was mentioned in the Domesday Book and it is thought the name originates from the Old English meaning "enclosure of the sloe (tree) hill". The hamlet of Slamondsey or Slamsey was transferred from White Notley to Black Notley in 1889 and Great Slamseys was transferred to Great Notley in 2000.
Our fields are still called by their old names such as The Ley (formerly Old Leigh), Grove Field, Great Forest, Little Forest, Blackley and Dovehouse.
You can explore the fields and discover the wildlife and changing scenery using the network of public footpaths that cross the farm or along the public bridleway that runs from Blackley Lane to the Country Park.
