The railway at Witham dates from 1843 & the branches to Braintree & Maldon from 1848; the cross-country line to Bishops Stortford was opened in 1869. The passenger service on the Bishops Stortford
- Braintree line was withdrawn in 1952 & after the publication of the Beeching Report in 1963 the same fate was scheduled for the other branches. However the Braintree branch survived & together with Witham is a busy commuter line. In this book we take a journey over the line from Bishops Stortford to Maldon via Braintree & Witham to view what has changed over the last 165 years. Unusually for today the Braintree branch line survives & fortunately most of the cross-country line is now designated the Flitch Way. The Maldon line since closure has been put to many other uses including use as the towns road bypass.

Why did the young Protestant monarch William of Orange fail to make his mark on Scotland? How did a particularly hard-line Protester branch of Presbyterianism (the last off-shoot of the Convenanting movement) become the established Church in Scotland? & how did it come about that Scotland suffered a kind of cultural revolution after the Williamite revolution nipping in the bud the proto-Enlightenment? This book reviews the political events that led to the abolition of episcopacy in 1689 & with it the concerted attack on the parish clergy. It explores for the first time the background & influences that led to the brutal rabbling of the curates in south-west Scotl&. It explores the mind-set of the notorious Covenanting tract Naphtali (1667) & of its author Sir James Stewart of Goodtrees who was the author of the Act establishing hard-line Presbyterianism in 1690 & became Lord Advocate of Scotland in 1692. The purges of the universities after the 1690 Act led to a hardening of attitudes & the on-going purging of the parishes led ultimately to the emptying of two-thirds of all the parishes of Scotl&. The book suggests how these events contributed to the notion of King Williams ill years. ...
