WELCOME TO FELSTED
Located in north-west Essex and with a population of around 3,000, the Parish of Felsted has at its heart the historic village of Felsted, surrounded by Greens and Hamlets, in a beautiful rural setting.
Felsted retains the underlying charm and attraction of a rural parish, with the community and village at its heart. This is what attracts people to the area and what we as the Parish Council see as our historic duty to protect. Preservation of our heritage is balanced with a duty to ensure that the Parish thrives and meets the future needs of our community.
Winner of RCCE Village of the Year 2015

Please also note that Linsell’s is a valuable local resource and lifeline to many. The shop is operating a carefully thought out 2 queue system for the shop and Post Office. it will inevitable lead to delays getting into the shop, but the precautions are there to protect you and the staff. Please follow the instructions given to you with grace and patience whilst Richard and his team do all they can to support our community.

During the Coronavirus Outbreak we will be working with Felsted Parish Council to provide a FREE delivery service of food and essential items to any person in self isolation in the Parish of Felsted. Telephone Linsell’s on 01371 820255.
We can accept card payment over the phone.
Non-essential items, such as newspapers cannot be delivered on their own, but we will be working with the Council to identify volunteers local to you, who may be able to help with this. If you would like to volunteer to help people in isolation please contact the Parish Council Coronavirus Help Line on 07936 070732 or if you think you have a neighbour who is vulnerable, pop a note through their door.
We at Linsell’s are not immune to the virus and some of us are in the vulnerable category, so we will need to isolate ourselves. However, we are committed to keeping the Shop and Post Office open during this time, for as long as we can. To help us achieve this, please do not come into the shop if you are exhibiting cold or flu symptoms.
Take care of yourselves and those around you!
Best wishes from all of us at Linsell’s.

March 31st: Felsted Post Office Opening hours
Please see the following message from Richard Silcock regarding the opening hours for the Post Office.
To all the good people of Felsted, I would like to say a big thank you for your support and understanding over the last couple of weeks. It’s been really difficult for all of us but we’re all gradually getting used to living 2 metres apart!
As you may be aware, Dunmow and Takeley Post Offices have closed and Rayne Post Office is closed in the afternoons. This has put considerable pressure on our Post Office, which in turn has made it very difficult for our customers to use the shop. To help alleviate this, from tomorrow April 1st (no; it’s not a wind up) the new Post Office trading hours will be:
Monday to Friday: 1-00pm to 5-30pm
Saturday & Sunday: CLOSED
This will allow our customers better access to the shop in the mornings and at weekends.
As I type this, Gt Waltham, Gt Leighs, Thaxted and Rayne Post Offices are open in the mornings but this may change at short notice.
With best wishes
Richard
