It's now part of a golf course​, as is the old parish church. ​But Rochford was a hotbed of Protestantism, and we'll talk about how Nonconformists and Dissenters differed, from Congregationalists to Puritans, Methodists and the Peculiar People.After a tour around the town looking at weatherboard houses there will be a short pub stop. The second part of the walk goes along the River Roach, past a derelict flour mill and live saltmarshes into the estuary to hear about the perils of riverside mud, with the aid of Susan Hill's Woman in Black. Birds abound, and the marshes are beautiful as we head towards the North Sea.The walk is about five miles and could involve muddy paths, so boots or high trainers with good soles are needed. Rochford is about one hour by train from Liverpool Street Station.Below are your hosts, Rob Smith and Laura Agustín, in a Maldon pub after a recce. https://cdn-az.allevents.in/events4/banners/804ccb90-011a-11f1-83dc-8dac76d29c25-rimg-w986-h740-dc14131b-gmir.jpg Laura Agustín is a qualified guide as well as historian and writer keen to tell histories of working people treated like an inanimate mass in conventional accounts. The Naked Anthropologist is her longtime blog. Essex estuaries interest her because they are generally not mentioned as worthy destinations - but they are wonderful! https://cdn-az.allevents.in/events4/banners/80714380-011a-11f1-9f54-dfa1d1aacd36-rimg-w987-h740-dc17161a-gmir.jpg https://cdn-az.allevents.in/events2/banners/809baee0-011a-11f1-9f54-dfa1d1aacd36-rimg-w987-h740-dc90bdde-gmir.jpg https://cdn-az.allevents.in/events5/banners/80c46c90-011a-11f1-83aa-038204145eff-rimg-w987-h740-dc5c4c2d-gmir.jpg - **Event URL**: https://allevents.in/rochford/essex-estuaries-rochford-a-hotbed-of-dissent/100001982021345198 - **Event Categories**: sports, art, literary-art, workshops - **Interested Audience**: - total_interested_count: 0 ## Ticket Details - **Ticket Price Range**: min: 17.5, max: 17.5, currency: GBP ## Event venue details - **city**: Rochford - **state**: EN - **country**: United Kingdom - **location**: Rochford Railway Station - **lat**: 51.5822659 - **long**: 0.7042407 - **full address**: Rochford Railway Station, West Street, Rochford, United Kingdom ## Event gallery - **Alt text**: Essex Estuaries - Rochford: A Hotbed of Dissent - **Image URL**: https://cdn-az.allevents.in/events6/banners/e2ddbd05b096a9362075a03279184fd529d074ca8d94118a531b784c90675d07-rimg-w1020-h765-dcabbfd1-gmir.jpg?v=1770134878 ## FAQs - **Q**: When and where is Essex Estuaries - Rochford: A Hotbed of Dissent being held? - **A:** Essex Estuaries - Rochford: A Hotbed of Dissent takes place on Fri, 12 Jun, 2026 at 01:15 pm to Fri, 12 Jun, 2026 at 04:15 pm at Rochford Railway Station, West Street, Rochford, United Kingdom. - **Q**: How much do tickets cost for Essex Estuaries - Rochford: A Hotbed of Dissent? - **A:** Tickets for Essex Estuaries - Rochford: A Hotbed of Dissent are priced at GBP 18 per person.

She has been a Londoner since the 1960s, although she has lived in numerous countries. Author of \nSex at the Margins: Migration, Labour Markets and the Rescue Industry\n, she has for many years focused on getting the stories out of women marginalised because of being poor, foreign, ‘different’ or doing jobs some folks think are wrong. She spends time in the Manuscript Room of the British Library looking for clues to how women lived 1000 years ago, and couldn’t stop reading even if she wanted to. She is known as \nThe Naked Anthropologist.\nShe has qualified as a tour guide in order to take this focus to the streets, where guided history walks rarely talk about the poor except as objects of charity.
