Step off the main road and into Essex as it truly was: parish by parish, tower by tower, dedication by dedication. A county in carved stone. G. Worley's Essex: a dictionary of the county mainly ecclesiological is a distinctive county gazetteer reference and ecclesiological dictionary, arranged for swift consultation yet rich enough for unhurried browsing. It draws together Essex parish churches, their settings, and their church architecture descriptions with the practical focus of a local history reference book. As a parish church guidebook in dictionary form, it helps you place a village on the map, understand a dedication, and follow the threads of English church antiquities across the landscape of Essex, England history. Rooted in Victorian ecclesiology, this is also a window into how church historians and antiquarians read the past: through fabric, fittings, and the long memory of place. Collectors of English county histories will recognise its value as a period reference, while readers engaged in genealogy and local research will find it an indispensable companion for field visits, archive work, and family context. The result is a usable, evocative record of a county where history is often written in flint, brick, and medieval stonework. Out of print for decades and now republished by Alpha Editions. Restored for today's and future generations. More than a reprint - a collector's item and a cultural treasure.
