In this section you will find much detailed history of Harwich and the surrounding area.

The following pages reflect the rich history of Harwich, from the earliest times to the modern age. Much of the material is ongoing and is constantly updated when or if further research becomes available. It is hoped that some of the articles will reach a degree of finality which will lead to conventional publication.

I invite anyone with experiences of Harwich, with relation to its past, to contribute to the following pieces. This can only enhance and enrich the existing material.

Thank you.
