| Abstract: |
Presents a survey of churches in the Diocese of Chelmsford, particularly in the Archdeaconry of Colchester, designed to illuminate the problems and potentials of church archaeology - the study of the whole historic fabric and environment of ecclesiastical buildings. The survey reveals in detail for the first time the very serious extent of the numerous destructive agencies at work on our churches, graveyards, monuments, furnishings and fittings; it is urged that this destruction be drastically reduced and that proper provision for recording the evidence be made where destruction cannot be avoided. Case studies are presented and a gazetteer of the 220 parish churches and church sites in the Archdeaconry of Colchester follows. |
