John and Nia Watkiss have spent many years and a not inconsiderable amount of their own money travelling to record offices up and down the country tracking down every reference they can find to Takeley.
They have now very generously made their notes available to all with an interest in studying Takeley history. These are scholastic notes, not intended in this form as easy reading, but invaluable to all those with a genuine interest in Takeley history.
