I was born & bred in Felsted, living in the area until 1965 when I emigrated to New Zealand. These photographs of Felsted Mill remind me of the many hours spent on the wall below the water wheel race, fishing for roach and chub, and walking our girlfriends down by the river. The Felsted school with church in background, reminds me... [more]

In the 1891 and 1901 one of my ancestors, George Mott, was a miller at Felstead Mill. He had 3 daughters and 1 son. His wife Althea died in 1898. Perhaps she played the piano, and is the ghost!! George later married Naomi Boreham, who had been a cook at the mill.

My father bought the mill in the 1960s and we moved in 1976 to South Africa. During the years living at the mill we all have plenty of memories spent living there. The most memorable was the first time we encounted the ghost of the mill. My mother called my two brothers and sister and myself into the hallway and demanded... [more]

Extracts From Stebbing & Essex books
Displaying a selection of extracts from Frith books about Stebbing, inspired by Frith photos.
This scene has changed little in the years since the photograph was taken. Many of the houses have attractive pargeting, including Butlers Cottage on the right of the picture. The leaning timber-framed house on the left is known as Tudor Cottage.

Dunmow, Thaxted and Finchingfield Photographic Memories
The children`s clothing and the 1950s Ford make this a real period piece. Stebbing, strung out along a mile-long road, has a fine collection of old buildings: the house with the leaning frontage is late 15th- century, the other cottages slightly later. At the top of the road is Burleton`s store.

Dunmow, Thaxted and Finchingfield Photographic Memories
This row of cottages started life as one 15th-century house of the hall-and-wings type. It is now all one house again. St Michael`s Church is mainly early 14th- century. In 1759 a Thaxted curate wrote that `the church of Sampford does not look like a house of prayer, nor its vicar like a man of God`.
