Eve's Corner is really the focal point of the Village. For a number of years there has been white ducks on the pond but this Christmas, Reynard had them for his dinner. This spring a Mallard has raised 7 offspring to the delight of all those who have sat on the seat and watched. During the mid 90s, the pond was very nearly empty of water as it is only a dew pond.

The Playing Fields were donated to the Parish of Danbury by the Dawson Family who lived in Frettons, firstly in 1947 and more in 1982. This enabled the Sports and Social Centre to be built. It houses a large gym, hall and a nice bar and eating area.

Looking towards the south and at the Danbury Bowling Club green. This beautiful green is used a lot. The tennis courts can be seen behind together with their tower lights; care should be taken with developments like this to ensure that the surrounding environment does not suffer from light pollution.

The Village Hall was built in 1911 by Public Subscription and donations. It had a new roof put on in 2000 as the previous one was leaking. The Kitchens are about to be updated as a local school uses it daily. As can be seen from the posters it plays host to the Danbury Players who put on plays from time to time. On most Saturday afternoons there is a Jumble Sale which is very well supported.

Danbury is a pleasant Village with many trees and shrubs. This picture is taken looking towards the rear of the Health Centre.

Runsell Green is 1 mile from the centre of Danbury on the road to Maldon. Years ago it was more important than Danbury but now only boasts a boarded up Tea Room and a very nice public House called "The Anchor"
