UNDISCOVERED UPMINSTER
Mike set out to discover little-know facts about Upminster from notorious visitors including Thomas Cromwell and the Lord Mayor of London in the 18th Century to the history of St Laurence Church.
‘Undiscovered Upminster’ has been created by resident Mike Jones who said “I want people to watch the film and to say to themselves that they didn’t know that about their town.”
