Marks Tey is a village in Essex, England located six miles west of Colchester.
Marks Tey railway station is on the Great Eastern Main Line, and is a junction for the Sudbury Branch Line to Sudbury.
Marks Tey is one of a group of villages called the Teys, also including Great Tey and Little Tey. Its main features include a village hall built in 1993 on the fields intersecting the A12 and A120, with an adjacent children's play park and a skateboard park. Next to that(between a12 & a120)is a suburban estate that was built in the mid 70s. Opposite the estate is a lane leading down to st andrews church.
The village has a parish church, St Andrew's. The church hall is at the centre of the community, and hosts the local Scout Group with Beavers, Cubs and Scouts.[2]
The Marks Tey Hotel on London Road is the only four-star hotel in North Essex.
Following the demolition of the Prince of Wales public house, the Red Lion is the only pub serving the village. In 2001 The Food Company erected their first outlet on the site of the former Prince of Wales, selling speciality foods and drink.
