Comments The Essex Way at Stagden Cross is over heavy clay - slow going in wet weather Additonal maps required around Feldsted for joining the Flitch Way to Braintree Historically "The Flitch" was a prize of a side of pork awarded to encourage the institution of marriage. It was awarded by local Friars to that local newly wed couple who could convince the Friars that they amongst their peers didn't flitch from their partner in the first year or two of marriage
