I am visiting ST Nicholas' church, Tolleshunt D'arcy - today

My Visit to St Nicholas Church, Tolleshunt D'Arcy, today, captured in images:-

Please be patient, I am trying to reproduce a visual portfolio of the church, its grounds, and the link between it and June Bamber, and the tragedy which unfolded at whf, on the morning of 7th August 1985...

Mike, the pictures are great, and show the area in true beauty which it is.
 I may be missing something, what has this got to do with the murders.

Lovely area! Its a shame that people not from Essex just see the Basildon and Southend side of things and not the beautiful rural villages like D'arcy. When I meet people and say i'm from Essex you can tell their thinking hmmm White Stilettos...couldn't be more wrong!

Yeah sometimes people are shocked when you say the rural Essex accent is similar to Suffolk/ Norfolk. I'm from a very rural area of Essex and its nice to hear the older generation still have the accent. 





Yep I agree.  Essex is such a diverse county.  It has everything; the London side plus all the estuary, including Southend, but go into the centre, up the coast and north (Constable country), it's really rural, and quite quaint, plus the accent changes!

Remains of Ralph and June Bamber are buried in the church grounds, and June Bamber was the church warden, and ?

Thankyou Chochokiera for such an insight into the area I had a really nice day tinged with a lot of sadness because of the goings on at WHF maybe JB will get his appeal or even better a retrial where a new jury could make a decision with more facts available to them. I will go back and it's nice to find a new place in Essex.

I'd love to see a retrial, Jackie, I feel our country owes Jeremy Bamber that. We owe it to the Bamber family and to Sheila too. They all deserve justice. A proper Appeal would be brilliant, wouldn't it? I'm an optimist by nature, so I do believe there will be justice for Jeremy in the end. I don't care what objections the naysayers raise here, they cannot alter the truth, that Jeremy Bamber was denied a fair trial and that the British justice system owes him a fair hearing, in whatever form that takes.

He had a fair trial, he's lucky they did away with hanging that's for sure!!

[andrea]

Why do you think he didn't?

I believe it helps to set the village scene in our mind's eye, Cliff, it helps us to understand what happened if we forum members can visualise these places we keep reading about. St Nicholas's church is where June and Nevill Bamber's funeral was held and they are buried in the graveyard here. Among the huge amount of controversy that this case is steeped in lies the issue of the funeral and Jeremy's conduct there.

Chocho, I know what you are saying, but it has no bearing on the case.
Parts of Essex are mind blowing. I moved here from Kent, and love this area.
I am sure that Andrea can post pictures of Leeds that are equally as scenic, But I fail to see the relevance.

Andrea if you ever come down you would be welcome to stay with me I have just had the decorators in to do my spare room.

John I believe for at least two reasons the Julie mugford newspaper deal and the real revelation of where the inheritance would go if JB was convicted would have changed the verdict in court that is without numerous other anomalies that have been discussed here.
Are you really going to say the jury would not have come to a different decision

[andrea]

thanks jackie
