Ilford: A History
by Sue Curtis
Ilford's story is one of growing independence and character: its Saxon and medieval manor estates belonged to the mighty Barking Abbey. The abbey set up Ilford Hospital Chapel, now the oldest surviving building in the town centre. The early 19th century saw prosperous inns grow up in an emergent village to serve the coaching trade, and by 1830 Ilford was a separate parish. Nine years later the railway came and brought dramatic growth; in 1888 ...

Excavations of an Iron Age Settlement and Roman Religious Complex at Ivy Chimneys, Witham, Essex 1978-83
by Robin Turner
Although lacking the spectacular finds of many other excavated Roman religious sites, Ivy Chimneys in Witham, Essex, provides important information on a site of relatively low status, although with an interesting and at times complex history of change and development from the Iron Age through to at least the 5th century AD. There is evidence to suggest that at least part of the Iron Age site, perhaps a farmstead, had some sort of religious role, ...
