Of course being a Tuesday I was once again joined by MARGARET MILLS for her regular look at items linked to local history and today Margaret took us the short distance to St Mary’s Church Widford, which for those unfamiliar with the area, is very close to HYLANDS HOUSE, Chelmsford.

St Mary’s church has very strong connections with Hylands House, and the owners of that property, many of whom were ultimately buried in the church yard.

There is also a connection with the artist JOHN CONSTABLE, whose painting of St Mary’s is held at the National Gallery in London.

You can listen again here to what Margaret told me about this church: –

I hope to have the pleasure of your company once more next week,
Scott
