In response to a query by Jessie (Thompson) Loper posted in the Camp
Family Newsletter, June 1999, I did an Internet search for Chignall +
Essex + England and found a site concerned with aerial archeology in
Essex. I contacted the person who posted that site (Davy Strachan) and
received the response included below.

The Aerial Archeology site is at
<http://rs6000.univie.ac.at/AARG/worldwide/essex/essex.html>;. Davy
mentions the Essex Record Office. Their web site is
<www.essexcc.gov.uk/heritage/records/mainpage.htm>.

I have asked Davy to send me his book list, but I have not carried this
search further. If someone wants to actually locate the church, I'm sure
that you can obtain this information from the Essex Record Office.

RE:RE: Chignall St. James


Hi,

Good to hear from you. You have got through to the right place! I work
for the Heritage Conservation Group of Essex County Council (responsible

for recording and protecting ancient monuments in the county. We mantain

a record of infromation about sites and monuments in the county and have

produced a number of books and bookliets about various aspects of the
counties past. We have just recently published a report on the
excvataions of the Roman villa at Chignall St. James, and we will have
more general information also. If you'd like send me a postal address I

will send you a booklist and order form. I also recommend that you
contact the Public Record Office in Essex as they are very active in the

area of family history research do a search fro "Essex Record Office" (if

you don't have any luck, let me know and I'll send you the www address).

Best wishes,

Davy Strachan.

I stumbled upon your beautiful and informative site while searching to
see
if I could find anything about Chignall St. James, Essex. I'm a
descendant
of Thomas Campe, Jr., who was christened there about 1630, and I
subscribe
to a Camp Family Association newsletter here in the U. S. One of the
other
members of the association entered a query, "Need address of church in
England being repaired. Camp's from there." If I can find the answer to
his question, he (and others) will probably appreciate it.

It would be good hearing from you.

Incidentally, I'm a Nelson, but have not been able to track my lineage
back
before James Franklin Nelson who said he was born in Virginia in 1805.
Surely I must be related to Admiral Nelson, or someone else who's famous!

Thanks for any help you may give.
