The Revd. Edward Reeve, rector of Stondon Massey, kept a
diary called ‘Notes for a Parish History.
In it he wrote his observations of the First World War from his study in
what is now Stondon Massey House.
“1st
July 1916: As I write, the reverberation of the great guns and explosion of
mines are shaking the windows of the Rectory and of all the other houses, I
suppose, in the southern and south-eastern counties of England. There is evidently a very heavy bombardment
in progress."
