Book Description
There is something romantic and ‘other worldly’ about ruins – whether they are churches, castles or old manor houses. Here, Andrew Barham explores the churches of Essex which no longer serve their historic parishes, for various reasons. Some parish churches were replaced in different locations, others were located in parishes that simply withered away; some were overtaken by physical catastrophe, others by vandalism. The tales of vanished or ruined parish churches are detailed here with photographs, original prints and maps, and introduce a curious byway of Essex History.
