In May 2000 I had a book published: The Lost Parish Churches of Essex.
There follows a brief summary of the information my research produced.
Click on the church name for a small pic of it.
As this book is no longer available and as it is unlikely to be re-printed I have made the whole of the text available via the link on the left. Andy Barham October 2007.
Also - visit my new site about my wife's new book - "Queen Elizabeth's Wooden Teeth and Other Historical fallacies" - it's excellent!
