The modern village covers two medieval villages, Campesia and Esce. The former was the site of an Augustinian nunnery Campsey Priory, suppressed in 1536, of which only the Mill and Mill house still exist as Grade II* listed buildings.[2]
The Campsea church of St John the Baptist dates from the 14th century, and survives as the local parish church. It is a grade II* listed building.[3]
Campsea has an Auction Room, dating to the 1920s, with a weekly auction held on Mondays.
