Including more than 100 photographs, this volume explores the colourful and fascinating history of the county of Essex, focusing on the visible reminders of the county's historic past which so often go unnoticed. From Saxon treasures to paintings hidden behind church walls, ancient knights to Sir William Maxy's manner of childrearing, Elizabeth Fry to the Rector of Purleigh, whose great-great grandson would become President of the United States, this book reveals the hidden history of Essex: the stories behind the region's historic sites, and the residents who have themselves made history. With tales from the ancient past and from more recent history, and including everything from earthquakes to the left hook of controversial prizefighter 'Gentleman' John Jackson, local people, events and stories are all brought vividly to life in this exploration of the past that loves in all round us. "Essex: History You Can See" shows that evidence of the past can be seen in everyday surroundings, and will fascinate all who know the area.

"A great book for your car glovebox." 20 May 2007 by J Meyer, Little Hallingbury, Essex


"If you think you 'know' Essex, think again and read this little gem. Its truly GREAT, the product of a good writer, who is a great photographer.

The text is full of information which is well written, and the photographs are SUPERB, shows what a quality film Hasselblad can do in these days of digital cameras."
