This is the land of places with double-barrelled, repetitive names. The sign points to the Rodings (a great many of these) and one of the Easters to the left, another Easter to the right, and the Chignals towards the camera. Chignal is spelt thus on the sign, the modern preference seems to be Chignall. Only the Easters can be described as reasonably focussed villages. The others are diffuse areas with an often isolated church and a manor house of some sort.
