Thorrington

Thorrington

Thorrington is a village and civil parish in the Tendring district of Essex, England. It lies 5 km east of Wivenhoe and 3 km north of Brightlingsea. Although the church is dedicated to Mary Magdalene, its living is in the gift of St John's College, Cambridge.

On the west side, the Tenpenny Brook forms the parish boundary between Thorrington and Alresford. At the point where the brook becomes the Alresford Creek (a branch of the Colne Estuary) stands Thorrington Mill. This is a tide mill built in 1831 and now a Grade II* listed building.

The Colchester to Clacton railway line passes just to the north of the village but the station is now closed.
