To mark the centenary of the commencement of the First
World War, Martyn Lockwood is working on a special edition of the Journal to record
those who fell in the four High Country parishes. The Group will also
have a display at the 400th anniversary celebrations at Theydon
Mount church on 27 & 28 September and will be represented.
Welcome to the blog of the High Country History Group covering the parishes of Greensted, Stanford Rivers, Stapleford Tawney and Theydon Mount in Essex, England. We meet most fourth Thursdays in the month at Toot Hill Village Hall from 8.00pm.
