A message from our Chairman Which is your favourite church? It’s a question I am often asked, and I usually evade the issue by saying ‘the one I am visiting next’, because that feeling of not quite knowing what one will find as one opens the door for the first time is exciting, and can never be repeated on subsequent visits. It’s not easy to give a straight answer, because most Dr James Bettley people who are habitual church visitors have many favourite churches, and in Essex and where I was married, or Althorne, the very East London we are fortunate to have an first church I tackled when I took over our astonishing variety of churches to explore, all Study Days. of them with something special or interesting about them.

The work was undertaken in advance of underpinning works. One test-pit was observed by CAT, dug against the west wall of the nave and the south- west buttress of the church.

W.C. 1862. PREFACE. TIIE Proprietors, in submitting to their Subscribers and the Public the present (being the Fifth) Edition of the Six HOME COUNTIES DIRECTORY, trust that it may • be found to be equal in accuracy to the previous Editions. Several additions have been made to the present volume : lists of Hundreds and Poor Law Unions have been included in the Topography of each County; it is stated under each Parish in what Hundred, Union and County Court District it is situate, as well as the Diocese, Archdeaconry and Rural Deanery; and the College and University of every Beneficed Clergyman have been given. The Post Office Savings Banks have been noticed; the names of the Parish Clerks are given under each Parish ; and lists of Farm Bailiffs of gentlemen farming their own land have been added. / The bulk of the Directory has again increased considerably: the Third Edition consisted of 1,420 pages; the Fourth had increased to 1,752 pages; and the present contains 1,986 pages. The value of the Directory, however, will depend principally on the fact that it has been most carefully corrected, every parish having been personally visited by the Agents during the last six months. The Proprietors have again to return their thanks to the Clergymen, Clerks of the Peace, Magistrates' Clerks, Registrars, and other Gentlemen who have assisted the Agents while collecting the information.
