I AM NOT AFFILIATED WITH ANY CHURCH IN ESSEX! I am not a Father, Reverend, Churchwarden or anything remotely ecclesiastical. Therefore I cannot answer queries relating to services, marriages, baptisms, burials, fetes, bazaars, jumble sales etc. This is a personal website that deals with church buildings and their history.

Before you email me, please check the following couple of items, and ensure that your email does not fall into one of these categories. If it does, then I am sorry, but you will not receive a response. I have set up another method by which you can ask questions of any sort relating to Essex churches. Simply click here to go to the Essex Churches Yahoo! group.

• I will not, under any circumstances, disclose address, telephone or email details for any church. If you do not find a web link on my site, then I do not have one. If you really need to get in touch with a church, then your best bet is to go via the Chelmsford Diocese. Providing such a service would potentially mean holding personal data relating to individuals. This has implications regarding the Data Protection Act 1998.

• I cannot send you details of available dates for weddings, christenings, funerals etc. As with the previous item, if you cannot find details of the church in the public domain, then contact the Chelmsford Diocese.

If you are sure that your email does not relate to one of these areas, then
