*************

Dedham is a village within the borough of Colchester in northeast Essex, England, situated on the River Stour and on the border of Essex and Suffolk.

Dedham is frequently rated as containing some of England's most beautiful Lowland landscape, most particularly the Water Meadows of the River Stour, which passes along the northern boundary of the village forming the boundary between the counties of Essex and Suffolk. Dedham has a central nuclear settlement around the Church and the junction of Mill Lane and the High Street (forming the B1029). Connected to Dedham are the hamlets The Heath and Lamb Corner, both of which formerly retained their own shops and pubs. The village forms a key part of the Dedham Vale.

Dedham is at the heart of 'Constable Country' - the area of England where Constable lived and painted. Constable went to school in the village in the Grammar School (now the 'Old Grammar School' and 'Well House'), walking along by the River Stour from East Bergholt each morning to school. Many of Constable's paintings feature Dedham.

• The Parish Church of St Mary's; the present building dates from the late 15th century. The Ascension by John Constable is on permanent display in the church.^[2]
