Blackmore Area Local History
- Andrew Smith
- Blackmore, Essex, United Kingdom
- I am a keen amateur local historian who has always lived in the CM4 postal district (Ingatestone and Blackmore) so this is an area I know quite well. The purpose of this blog and partner website is simply to encourage everyone to consider, explore and learn about their local heritage and history. The Internet is a marvellous resource and enables people from around the corner and around the world to share. The picture, by the way, is of William Byrd (1540-1623), composer, who lived in Stondon Massey. Find out more on www.williambyrdfestival.blogspot.com. Enjoy the journey of discovery.
