Twinkle Twinkle Little Star
In the late 18th century, the village was home to poet Jane Taylor, and it may have been while living in Shilling Street that she wrote the poem "The Star", from which the lyrics for the nursery rhyme "Twinkle Twinkle Little Star" are taken. Colchester and Ongar, both in Essex, also have claims to be the site of composition of the poem.
