If you leave in the Priory Chase/ Temple Way area of Rayleigh, there’s a new academic book out now about your road!
It’s em>”An Early Saxon Cemetary at Rayleigh, Essex Excavations at the Former Park School 2003-04″ You can buy it online here or here for ?12.
As the name suggests, it’s about the Saxon burial site that was studied by County Council archaeologists before Asda and the leisure centre were built.
We’ve not seen it ourselves yet, and it’s probably not going to be gripping reading. But if you live in the vicinity, you might fancy buying it.
PS We know they have spelt “cemetery” wrong.
