The King's England: Essex

Arthur Mee

Taking others to task for describing Essex as a "flat, uninteresting county", Arthur Mee embarks on an alphabetical tour of Essex and its past, from coastal creek to timbered hall, from Castle Hedingham to Waltham Abbey.

 

This book, written before WWII, gives a good idea of what Essex was like before the huge expansion took place along the banks of the Thames, and before the conception of the new towns.
