The St Lawrence
Heritage Discovery Church is currently staging an exhibition on World War I and
the Dengie Hundred.
As the name implies,
the principal focus is on the activities of the armed forces within the local
area and the contribution by local people in many spheres.
Numerous contemporary
photographs illustrate and help to tell the story, well supported by personal
memoirs, official regimental War Diaries and general information. Details of
those who made the supreme sacrifice have been researched as well as some who
served and survived.
The exhibition should
hold something of interest to anyone interested in the locality or in our
military and maritime past or the early years of air warfare.
Exhibition extended to 28 September 2014
Location: St Lawrence
Church, near Southminster, CM0 7LN. Open Saturdays, Sundays and Bank Holidays,
2 August -28 September inclusive, 2.30 - 4.30 pm or other times by arrangement.
