Synopsis:
Two volumes of Essex church
photographs and postcards dating from c1870 to c1910, are important because
many of the earlier photographs pre-date respective church restorations, and
could be a unique record.
Initially the collection was
thought to have been compiled latterly by John Edward Knight Cutts
(1847-1938) (see
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/J._E._K._Cutts
), member of the Essex Archaeological Society from 1883, and church architect
(see
http://archiseek.com/tag/j-e-k-cutts/
) whose name is and date is credited to later photographs in the
collection. According to The Buildings
of England: Essex by Pevsner / Bettley (2007) J.E.K. Cutts was architect of the
now demolished (1997) St Augustine’s Church, Lower Dovercourt, 1883-84, and the
Arts Centre, formerly the Great Burstead Board School, in Billericay,
1877-78. All Saints, Dovercourt,
restored 1897-98; St Paul Church, Elmstead Market, now a house, built 1908;
and, St Mary, Little Oakley, now a house, restored 1895-1902 are all the work
of J.E.K. & J.P. Cutts.
It was tempting to think that the work was
begun by Edward Cutts. Having compared
the pencil labelling to the handwriting in the EAS Minute Book during the time
Cutts served as Secretary, it is clear that the labelling is not his work. Equally there are errors in labelling: South
Benfleet should be North Benfleet, Coopersale should read Theydon Garnon, Stock
should read Laindon, Blackmore End should read Stisted, the omissions of East
Mersea, Stondon Massey and Chigwell.
Warley is, in fact, Great Warley not Little Warley, a church demolished
in the 1950s. The photograph labelled “
Litt.
Oakley ?” is clearly not Little Oakley but Ugley
, and is
compelling because Cutts was its restorer.
On the same page a corrected entry from Great to Little Oakley is in
fact, from Internet images research, Great Oakley. There is therefore sufficient evidence to
determine that the volumes did not belong to the Cutts family.
The various sizes of photographs, as well as
the revelation that copies appear elsewhere, suggest that the mystery compiler
was not the photographer but acquired copies probably from perhaps other
gentlemen members of the Society, sharing the same taste and concern to record
changes in church buildings. The
contents list below gives sizes for some of the photographs, which may indicate
the same photographer or equipment employed.
“THERE is no need to stress the importance to the ecclesiologist of
photographs and reliable drawings of churches before they were subjected to
nineteenth-century reparation.” (Benton, TEAS n.s. xxiv). Benton makes reference to the Chancellor
collection of photographs in the Society’s collection, now at the Essex Record
Office.
A further important collection
of Essex prints, exquisite sketches, photographs and newspaper cuttings in the
name of Probert (ERO A13366) was deposited by the Society at the Essex Record
Office in 2012.
The collections of photographs
may be supported by contemporary narrative: Suckling (1846), Buckler (1856),
Chancellor (as published in the Transactions of the Society, and Essex Review),
and manuscript notes by King (1856-93) and C. F. D. Sperling.
Footnotes are provided giving
additional information relating to the image.
Endnotes are given where there has been correspondence with individual
members or members of the public or local history groups.

On the Membership List in 1915, Cutts was living
in Ontario, Canada having retired there in 1912. His parents were Edward Lewes Cutts
(1824-1901), clergyman and founder of E.A.S., and Mariann Elizabeth Knight (see
http://www.vangoozen.ca/bios.html ).
Colchester, St Nicholas. In 1875 the church
was generally restored, the chancel largely rebuilt, the S. aisle and Transept
Chapel destroyed and a new church of much larger size added to the S. of the
old building; the north tower was refaced and partly rebuilt and a spire
added'. (TEAS, n.s. XXV p.301)
