FRIENDS OF ESSEX CHURCHES TRUST

SPRING STUDY DAY

Wednesday 6^th May 2015

Our Spring Study Day will be led by Dr Christopher Starr the Essex church historian and Vice Chairman of the Trust. It will take place in the south west of the county, and we will visit a relatively compact group of five medieval churches in the course of the day. Please note that the order in which we visit the churches is as usual determined by the availability of refreshments.

We will meet at St Mary the Virgin, Stapleford Tawney (TQ 501987/RM4 1DQ) L+P** where the first talk will begin promptly at 10.15 am. Light refreshments will be available after the talk. Our second church will be St Margaret, Stanford Rivers (TL 533008/CM5 9QS) P**. We will stop for lunch after the talk; there are pubs and places for picnics in the vicinity. We resume our tour at 2.00 pm at St Thomas the Apostle, Navestock (TQ 562972/RM4 1EX) P** We will then proceed to St Mary & All Saints, Lambourne (TQ 479961/RM4 1AH) L+P** and our final destination for the day will be St Mary the Virgin, Stapleford Abbotts (TQ 505955 /RM4 1ES) L+P** where once again light refreshments will be available. Please remember that the refreshments are provided at the expense of the churches we visit, so if we have them we should make a suitable donation for them.
