Great Saling is a village and a civil parish in the Braintree district of the English county of Essex. It is near the town of Braintree. The hamlet of Blake End is part of the parish.
The village had on its green what was reputed to be the largest elm tree in England. With a girth of 22 feet 6 inches and a height of 40 metres, the elm was identified by the botanist R. H. Richens as an Ulmus × hollandica hybrid, before it succumbed to Dutch Elm Disease in the 1970s.[1][2]
The parish church is dedicated to St James, and is in the Diocese of Chelmsford. It is Grade II* listed.[3]
