Essex Church
Photographs
|
The following
pages contain photographs of old Parish Churches in Essex. It is
my hope to eventually have a photograph of every old Parish
Church in the county.
If you would like
to copy any of these for your family records, please feel free to
do so.
I am happy for
them to be used on web sites of a personal, genealogical or
information nature, provided that an acknowledgment and a link to
this web site accompany them.
If you wish to use
them for commercial purposes, permission is needed.
If you have any
photographs of Essex Parish Churches that are not already here, I
would be happy to use them, with an acknowledgement to you of
course.
Bookmark this page
as more photos will be added on a regular basis
There are
currently 460 Church Photographs...any without a link are yet to
be done
A number of the
photographs here were taken for me by Ian Hunter who sadly passed
away during 2003. Although we never met, our paths crossed many
times on our photographic forays around Essex. He was always
happy to go out of his way to photograph a church that I needed
and I tried to reciprocate by taking a few Pub shots that he was
missing.
He will be sadly
missed.
