Berechurch is a suburb of Colchester in Essex, England, lying to the south of the city centre.
==History== In Saxon times the Berechurch area had been part of an estate called Donyland which covered an extensive area south of Colchester. The estate was split into four parts in the late 10th century. Three of the four parts of Donyland then came under the jurisdiction of the borough of Colchester; those three were collectively termed "West Donyland". The other part was outside the borough in the Lexden hundred, and became known as East Donyland.
