Credits Transcribed from the 1913 edition by David Price
Summary "Loughton, Essex: A brief account of the Manor and Parish" by William Chapman Waller is a historical account written in the early 20th century. This book provides a detailed exploration of the history of the parish of Loughton, tracing its origins from before the Domesday Book through various significant social and economic developments up to the 16th century. The topic centers around the evolution of Loughton as a settlement, including descriptions of its manors, tenants, and noteworthy events, amidst the backdrop of broader historical trends. The book unfolds chronologically, beginning with the mention of Loughton in the reign of King Edward and its significance in the Domesday Book. Waller meticulously outlines the changes in land ownership over the centuries, particularly the relations between landowners, tenants, and the monastic authorities of the time. He brings to life the social dynamics of the parish, detailing the responsibilities of tenants to their lords and the communal activities that bonded the villagers. Additionally, Waller touches upon the architectural developments in Loughton, such as the church of St. Nicholas, and the eventual impacts of the Reformation and the rise of new political powers. The narrative serves both as a historical document and a homage to the local heritage of Loughton, inviting readers to appreciate the depth of its past. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
