Over the last thousand years, many important people have influenced the Colne Valley, and have left their mark with churches, buildings and philosophy. They have also left us a fantastic way to identify the stories of the past and a a way to link the people to this part of the world. This is through their coats of arms, which litter historic sites. Modern additions too can be examined through the ideas those people have encouraged and through the symbols they chose to represent them. Requiring little or no heraldic experience to understand, this book helps the reader to appreciate the history to be found in many of north Essex's treasured locations. Examined in the book are Halstead, Earls Colne, Colne Engaine, Wakes Colne, Aldham, Fordham, West Bergholt, Colchester and Wivenhoe; the arms of people and organisations, their use and application. It includes many illustrations.
