Description
THUNDERSLEY and DAWS HEATH
A HISTORY
By Robert Hallmann
No one acquainted with South East Essex could be in any doubt that this ancient parish truly deserves this delightful book written by the late Robert Hallmann. It has over 300 illustrations – many rare which show how the inhabitants made their livelihood. Maps and records illustrate how community life adapted to successive changes over the centuries.
From farming to motorcycle manufacture, Thundersley people have shown industry and ingenuity. Despite pressure from developers and its proximity to the capital the area is fortunate in having conserved its ancient woodlands and commons.
Church life has played an important part in the history of Thundersley and in addition to a comprehensive index, there is an annotated listing of Thundersley rectors, curates and church wardens. This is an essential reference book for local residents or for those who live in distant lands with Thundersley connections.
*With a cover endorsement from Bernard Cornwell, the author of the Sharp Series, the Warlord and Starbuck Chronicles, the Grail Quest and the Saxon series and numerous historical non-fiction books.
