Excellent Essex

Coming next month!

Essex is a county full of contrasts: from the industrial, petro-chemical sprawl of the Thames estuary to the beautiful winding lanes of the Stour valley.

Author Gillian Darley will talk about these aspects of our county’s story, landscape history, architecture, sense of place, that has entertained readers of her recent book of the same title.
