Feering is a village in Essex, England. Situated between Colchester and Witham, this village boasts three pubs: The best, and oldest of which, is The Old Anchor. It has a telephone box and a church with a shared vicar. The village shop has now ceased trading. Feering has close ties with its geographically conjoined neighbour, Kelvedon.
Feering has most recently been threatened by the A120 proposal to construct a new motorway to the north of the village. This motorway will stretch from the current A12 near Marks Tey to Braintree "cutting travelling time to Stansted by an hour". The Environment Agency has not released information concerning new routes, which has angered some local residents, who oppose the new proposals.
The village now has a new Post Office situated in the old Police Building, open on Tuesdays and Thursdays for a few hours.
There are also many businesses such as construction goods suppliers Ridgeons, who also support the local cricket club.
The old buildings around Feering are full of character, some dating back hundreds of years.
