Thaxted
Thaxted is a town in the Uttlesford district of Essex, England, which had a total of 2,845 residents at the 2011 census. ==History== Thaxted appears in the ''Domesday Book'' of 1086 as ''Tachesteda'', Old English for "place where thatch was got." Once a centre of cutlery manufacture, Thaxted went into decline with the rise of Sheffield as a major industrial centre. A light railway, the Elsenham & Thaxted Light Railway, eventually opened in 1913, though the railway itself never reached nearer than three-quarters of a mile (1.2 km) from the town, as building earthworks across the River Chelmer proved too costly. With the growth of road transport, the line was closed to passengers in 1952 and closed altogether in 1953. The name of Cutler's Green, a small hamlet about a mile to the west of Thaxted, recalls the trade that yielded the area's early wealth. Just to the West of Cutler's Green is the mysteriously named Richmond's in the Wood.
