  • The History of Witham Monthly Meeting 1647 – 1953 1
    THE HISTORY OF WITHAM MONTHLY MEETING 1647 – 1953 1 The story of Quakerism in this district goes back to the days of George Fox; there is an entry in his Journal to the effect that when he visited Chelmsford all the Quakers were in prison. The records of births dates from 1647 – one of the earliest in the country – and apart from about 70 years covering the end of the last century to 1922, the records cover nearly 300 years. It is a very mixed story, very human as well as revealing the life of a small community against the background of a changing England – we realise this when we remember that we are thinking of Quakers who were alive in this district in the Civil War, as well as those who saw the industrial revolution. In 1672, when the Witham Monthly Meeting minutes commence, Charles II was on the throne, John Milton was alive and the Acts of Toleration had not been passed. In the Essex Record Office there are volumes of minutes covering the years 1672/1850, and some later ones are still in the hands of Friends. Among records of Births, Marriages and Deaths mention is made of Quakers born in 1616 thus we are in touch with those living in the days of James I, and the year that Shakespeare died. The first recorded Monthly Meeting was at Heybridge on the 9 th . of 4 th .month 1672 2 and contains applications for marriage; the first Monthly Meeting at Witham so far as the records go, was on the 10 th .

Geology, Location & Landscape Geology Fig 1A Blackwater Bridge The bedrock of Maldon District is London Clay; a silty clay deposit laid down in a warm sea some 55 million years ago, and is up to 150m deep. The geology of our area is complex, being dominated by subsequent deposits from the glaciers and rivers that have criss-crossed the region over the past 0.5 million years of the Palaeolithic period. These deposits may be found in our gardens and comprise: brickearths, glaciofluvial sands and gravels, head deposits, and alluvium. The last ice sheet stopped some tens of miles south of here - c.11,000 years ago - the start of the Mesolithic Age, before retreating back up north. Location and Landscape The western boundary of Wickham Bishops Parish roughly follows the Blackwater River (Map 1 Wickham Bishops Parish Boundary). East of the river the land rises quite steeply to a height of 77m, where the main part of the village is situated. The total area of the parish is approximately 762 hectares. There are two roads passing through the parish from Witham, which is 2.5 miles NW of the village, to Maldon which is 3 miles to the SE.
