The Rendham Congregational church War Memorial

The memorial is now located in the parish church of St. Michael. This memorial bears 24 names of men lost in WW1 whereas the parish church memorial has only four names. A possible explanation for the great difference in numbers was perhaps that the rector at the time would not permit the names of men on the church memorial who did not regularly attend the church, whereas the Congregationalist minister was more sympathetic. Not an uncommon occurrence.

The Roman-looking head at the bottom is of the Emperor Claudius. In 1907 the head of a statue of Claudius was found in the river. It was identified as having been looted from the temple in Calmulodunum (Colchester) probably in AD 60. See Link

Rendham, after the rain

The last rain of Storm Dennis had just stopped, and the final hour of the afternoon saw the setting sun emerge from below the clouds and illuminate the houses and St Michael's church.
