The History of Belchamp Walter
The references used for this history
This history started using the information guide found in the Church (2015).
The 2014/15 guide was based on the 1965 guide.
Historical information was also taken from Historic Englands website from the Listed Buildings records.
Additional material has been taken from a wide selection of sources including Inquisitions Post Mortem, and various other historians such as Thomas Wright, the Duchess of Clevland and the Medieval Historians.
There is a current (2023) guide to the church with coloured photographs, it is availble for purchase in the Church.
When enquiring what the source/reference was for the accounts found in the churchI was told that nobody knew. This is why I presented all of the accounts and it is, and left to the visitor to determine what the correct facts are. I have subsequntly ascertained the author of the church guides.
These accounts also relate to information on the village of Belchamp Walter itself.
