Kelvedon Hatch Secret Nuclear Bunker

Kelvedon Hall is a country house in the village of Kelvedon Hatch, near Brentwood, Essex, England. Originally the site of an important medieval manor, the current house was built in the mid-18th century by a family of Catholic landowners, the Wrights, who had bought the manor in 1538. The last of the Wrights to live at the house died in 1838 and it was then let, before being sold to a school. In 1937 the hall was bought by Henry “Chips” Channon, a wealthy Anglophile socialite. Kelvedon appears repeatedly in Channon's diaries, an intimate record of his social and political life from the 1920s to the 1950s. The hall remains the private home of the Channon family. It is a Grade I listed building.

St Nicholas Church is the Church of England parish church in the Essex village of Kelvedon Hatch. It was first recorded around 1254, when the rectory of the church of (Magdalen) Lever was valued at 6 marks, rising to 10 marks in 1291 and £12 in 1535. The original medieval parish church was fully rebuilt in the early 1750s, retaining a 15th-century bell and the octagonal font, which probably also dates to the 15th century. £380 was spent restoring it in 1873; but by 1893 the main population centre of the village had shifted elsewhere, and it was decided to build a new church nearer to that centre. Costing £2000, designed by the local architect John Thomas Newman and using a site originally intended as a new village cemetery, the new redbrick church was consecrated in 1895 and included many fittings from the medieval and Georgian building, including the font, the 1460–1480 bell and the 19th-century seating. It was restored in 1927 and is a Grade II listed building.The old church was allowed to fall into disrepair and also damaged by a vengeance weapon in 1945. Some medieval floor slabs and 16th-to-18th-century wall monuments survived in the old church until at least 1956, including some for the Wrights of Kelvedon Hall, on whose estate it stood, and the Luther family of Moyses's, who probably gave the church its 1674 silver cup and paten, which bear their family coat of arms.

Marden Ash is an urban settlement in the Ongar civil parish of the Epping Forest District of Essex, England. The settlement, previously a village of High Ongar parish, is contiguous with the small town of Chipping Ongar. It has a Church of England parish church and a pub, the Stag. In 1882 Marden Ash was a distinct village settlement south from Chipping Ongar, and listed as part of the neighbouring parish of High Ongar. Occupations at the time included two beer retailers, a brewer & maltster company, and a solicitor and clerk to the magistrates. In 1882-83 a stone and flint church was built at Marden Ash, of nave only and with seating for 100. Adjoining the church was a residence for the curate in charge. In the village in 1894 lived two High Ongar JPs, the parish priest, and the minister for the Congregational church. The brewers from 1882 remained, but as Coleclough & Palmer. There was a boys' school, a firm of solicitors, a butcher, and a beer retailer. These professions and occupations remained by 1902, at which time they were joined by a butcher, and by 1914 by two insurance agents, a fishmonger, a coal dealer, a dress maker, a boot maker, and a branch of the National Deposit Friendly Society. The school for boys was now accepting girls. The brewery was now a store for McMullen & Sons Ltd., brewers.
