The book is about the stories behind the ruins of Essex - the castles and priories, and those who lived there.

You'll find out about the scandalous behaviour of the monks, the sieges in our castles and spooky stories - including the legend of headless St Osyth, Maid Marian at Dunmow, and the Civil War siege of Colchester.
