    I am concerned about the activities of a self-promoting narcissistic nobody on a website and who showers himself with meaningless titles relating to non-existing organisation that are the creation of his own imagination.

    "A site run for the benefit of Chigwell Row residents...…" Primarily to feed the narcissism of a particular one who resides in Daylop Drive.

What the Dickens is going on in Chigwell?

At the end of our journey, local history buffs congregated under the Dickens Oak. Please join our rapidly growing community facebook page   (click here) On Saturday 5th December 10 people from Chigwell and the surrounding area travelled across the various sites in Chigwell Row and Chigwell Village that had a connection to the world famous author Charles Dickens.  Initially people met just behind the car park of the Maypole pub The tour began at the Dido Oak in Hainault Forest accessible via Sylvan Way.  This is a veteran oak (old but not quite ancient a list of definitions can be found here ) that was once made famous in Tatler Magazine back in 1903, due to an article about the Hermit of Hainault, a man named William Bell otherwise known as Dido who once lived in the forest under the cover of some sackcloth.  In his pocket he carried herbal roots, snakes, newts and anything else he could make money form.  Apparently he used to say: 'They call me Doctor Bell, Bec...

She was quite fortunate as I am the type of person to take a keen interest in the history of places, though this is for pleasure and not academically.  Besides, when I read about the novelist Charles Dickens's passion for Chigwell, I was naturally intrigued myself.  In a letter to his friend  John Foster, Dickens described Chigwell:  " the greatest place in the world ... Such a delicious old inn opposite the churchyard ... such beautiful forest scenery ... such an out of the way rural place.. . " In my previous home town my eldest daughter Hannah and I successfully obtained a £50,000 replic...

Including some very early settlements that will surprise many of you no doubt, which includes Romans and later Saxons.  These settlements would have began hear because of the River Roding and the many other water sources that have existed here from longevity. One of them may 'well' be (excuse the pun) the origin of the name of our location. CRRA have already traced the historic location of a Ching Well or Chig Well to land adjacent to Wells Park School, or to the rear of the schoo...
