History
Once a Saxon kingdom and central to most of the UK’s import/export industry for many years, Essex has a fascinating range of historic venues from ancient Cinq ports to Georgian country houses, medieval castles through to Victorian mock gothic piles and everything in between. Of course Essex’s history extends way beyond its architecture: Roman Essex was a bustling centre of commerce and administration with villas, towns and roads down which legions marched. The Normans found Essex very congenial and built manor houses and fishponds galore. Elizabeth the First loved Essex too, and it’s from her reign that some of the most swoon-worthy castles and manor house date. Finally, the Victorians criss-crossed the region with railways and enjoyed the county’s thriving market towns, well-stocked market gardens and – of course – its lively seaside fun. All this history makes Essex treasure trove of stunning buildings and beautiful locations for your wedding.
