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.

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.
