Wimbish is a small rural village and civil parish located 4 miles (6 km) south-east from Saffron Walden, in the Uttlesford district of Essex in the East of England.[2] The first recorded mention of the village was in 1042, when it was referred to as Winebisc. It was subsequently referred to as Wimbeis in the Domesday Book.[3] The village has its own non-denominational primary school (Wimbish Primary School) and a church (All Saints). The church tower was partly destroyed by lightning in 1756, and was rebuilt in brick but was later taken down again in 1883.
