Pleshey: Twenty Five Years Ago (2)
The White Horse (photographed on 16.8.1985), mentioned in Durrant's Handbook for Essex (1887) as an Inn, near the church is still open for business. Further down the hill is The Leather Bottle, once a Ridley's public house, also remains open.Monday, 16 August 2010
Pleshey: Twenty Five Years Ago (1)
Twenty five years ago (on 16 August 1985) I made my first ever visit to Pleshey, but failed to see the motte and bailey and understand the fact that an outer bailey encicles the village. Holy Trinity Church at the end of the street was built in 1868 by Frederic Chancellor, the well known Chelmsford architect.
