The local village church can tell us a lot about our local history. I for one love exploring churches, their history, architecture in addition to them being so calming. A few years ago I came across the term Church Crawling which I hadn't heard before and realised this is exactly what I do. Read more about it in this weeks post. Special thanks to @hisdoryan for permission to use her post as part of my research. [image St Andrews Church, Shoeburyness, Essex. Authors own] A few months back a forgotten air raid shelter in Shoeburyness was rediscovered by an Urban Exploring group. History can be found in the strangest of places. This guest post by James Nason from @basildonhistory (insta) @basildon-heritage (facebook) is about what lies beneath Hanningfield Reservoir https://fortheloveofhistoryhome.wordpress.com/2022/08/12/the-ancient-hamlet-of-peasdown/ IMAGE (C) Fremnell’s Manor, 1954, The Sphere Did you know that on this day 1,031 years ago a battle was fought not far from Maldon (what you can see in this photo). You can read more about it here https://fortheloveofhistoryhome.wordpress.com/2020/03/18/come-quickly-to-us-as-men-to-the-fight-the-battle-of-maldon/ #onthisdayinhistory #battleofmaldon #vikings #saxons #englishnbattles #didyouknow #essexhistory #maldon #battlefieldsofbritain #historyblog This month I am looking at history below the surface, places hidden by the landscape. The Hillforts of Southend looks at 2 forts dating back to the Iron Age and I look at what a Hillfort is. As the month comes to a close I thought i would share some recommendations and further reading on this month's theme of Rochford hundred.
