Southminster is in the center of the Dengie peninsula, which once formed a hundred of the same name. A major horse market used to be held annually in the town. Southminster marshes were a favourite center for hare coursing in Victorian times. The landscape surrounding the town. Elsewhere, on the peninsula is characterized by a pattern of strictly rectangular field boundaries. With evidence of a unit of measurement having been applied to the scheme as a whole. Middle Saxon administrations have been suggested as its origin. Although the road to the Roman sea fort at Bradwell-on-Sea also conforms to the pattern.

General Info

The medieval St Leonard’s Church dates mainly from the 15th century, although there are traces of much earlier work. It is a relatively large, “townish” church by Essex standards. The church also stands at an important road junction, contrasting with the familiar Essex pattern of a church and manor house complex on the same site. These features are consistent with John Blair’s formulation of an Anglo-Saxon minster. In contrast to a private oratory in its origins. The place-name would perhaps suggest Cedd’s mission at the Chapel of St Peter-on-the-Wall.
