Christ Church, Newgate Street,
E.C. London
was where William
David Dagg and Martha
Worsley got married on the 24 Jun 1822 Is on the site of of the Grayfriars
Monastery (Franciscan). The first church here was built in 1225. The church
was rebuilt in 1306 by Margaret the second wife of Edward 1, she was later
buried here. It used to be the second largest church in London, the largest
being St. Pauls. After the dissolution in 1538 the church was used to
store wine plundered from French ships. In 1547 the chancel was renamed
Christ Church and given a parish. The Kings printer set up his press in
the nave. The church burned down in the great fire, it was rebuilt by
Wren in 1677-87 on the foundations of the old chancel at a cost of £11,778
9s 6d, which made it one of the most expensive. The steeple was added
later in 1701-4. The church was destroyed in Blitz. The Steeple was preserved
in 1960 and the current garden built.

Golden
Square (2)Formerly called Gelding Square, is near the end of Piccadilly. The access to it is dirty; and, altogether, it has no very high claims to distinction for its beauty or magnificence. It was built soon after the Revolution of 1688-9, in what were then called the Pest-house Fields. In those fields, Lord Craven built a lazaretto, which, during the dreadful plague of 1665, was used as a pest-house, and hence arose the name. Carnaby Market also occupies a considerable portion of what previously constituted a dirty waste; St. James's Square( 1) Is one of uncommon celebrity, chiefly on account of the elevated characters who reside in it. It is very large, and there is in the centre an extensive circular sheet of water from the middle of which rises a pedestal surmounted by a statue of William III. The enclosure long remained, however, little better than an uncultivated, and somewhat unsightly waste; but the space within the railing has been considerably extended, and round the sheet of water, is now occupied with walks ornamented with shrubs, plants &c. The alteration is a great improvement to the appearance of the square.(3)The corner of Poland Street and Noel Street the homes of The Joseph Carnell family and Henry Dagg respectively.

The new infirmary, situated to the south-west of the workhouse, consisted of seven pavilion ward-blocks. Each of the four-storey blocks contained a 28-bed ward on each floor. The blocks were linked by a single-storey corridor at the south-west end. The infirmary cost £85,000 and could accommodate a total of 808 patients, at that time the largest number of inmates of any London hospital
Mabel
Elizabeth and Phylis Jessie Dagg My Fathers Elder Sisters were unlucky
enough to be put in the work house at the young age of 6 and 4 years old
in 1901. Their Mother Martha Elizabeth Snoad Dagg was in lodgins and working
as a Charwoman. I have been unable to trace her husband Willie Dagg up
to now, but it is likely that he was in the infirmary or another part
of the workhouse. With no nurserys or drop in creches Martha must have
had no choice but to leave them there.
All
Souls Church, Langham Place(left) is unique as the last surviving
church built by John Nash, who also developed nearby Regent's Park and
Regent Street.
It
was completed in December 1823 at a final cost of £18,323-10s-5d,
and opened in November 1824. At the front of the church is the immense
painting by Richard Westall, drawing master to Queen Victoria, presented
by King George IV on completion of the building. Entitled 'Ecco Homo'
- Behold the Man - it portrays Christ in the hands of his enemies. Source

Many of William David Dagg and Martha Worsley Dagg's children were Christened and Married here in the 1800s
The
church was consecrated by Henry Compton, Bishop of London, on 13 July
1684. The building is plain brick with dressings of Portland stone. Wren’s
plan was basilical, with the nave and chancel all in one, so that the
interior formed one great room with a vaulted ceiling.The church was considered
‘fashionable’, and was attended by the well-to-do. (Right

Henry Dagg and Sarah Carnell Dagg were married
here in 1857.

Green The Home of William Worsley lies about 2 miles north of Robertsbridge
on the A21, the busy main road from London to Hastings. The village
had its hey-day in the 19th and early 20th centuries, when it had
many shops and local businesses, but declined during the post World
War II period, with the advent of the motor car and large super stores. |

End, Lewson Street Home of John Snoad. It used to be known, perhaps more
attractively, as Lucerne Street.(Whilst the term ‘street’ was
used for most new roads in Victorian towns and cities, in medieval Kent
it was often used to describe a village along, or around, a highway.) Source:Faversham.org

Harriet Dagg's husband, Henry, was a master builder as
well as electrician. I believe his father Charles used to manage the Rose
and Crown public house in Watford, then a coaching inn, and have been
told that both Henry and his father had a keen interest in riding and
looking after horses but that Henry caught polio as a young man and couldn't
really ride properly after that.

All Saints Prittlewell - where Florence Harrington and Henry Pearce were married
All Saints is a town church built to cater for the rapidly expanding population of Southend towards the end of the 19th century. It was designed by the well-known Victorian church architect James Brooks and is a good example of the simple early Gothic style which competed with the highly decorated Gothic Revival architecture most associated with Victorian churches.
Porters, on the opposite side of Southchurch Road to the Church, is a former manor house built in the late 15th or early 16th century. It had a hugh estate of mostly farm land which stretched eastwards towards Southchurch and southwards down to the shore. With the arrival of the railway in 1856, Southend began to expand as a seaside resort and a residential town with new shops, houses and facilities for visitors gradually being built. Taking advantage of this expansion, in 1868 the manor house and much of the land around it was partitioned and sold for future development which would become known as Porters Grange Estate.
Porters and 29 acres around the house were bought by James Heygate. The Heygate family already had significant involvement in the development of Southend, including the first pier. As Heygate's land was developed, mostly with small terraced housing, it became known as Porter's Town.
The original medieval Parish Church, St. Mary's at Prittlewell, and its daughter church of St. John's built in 1842 overlooking Southend seafront, could not adequately cater for the expanding population. Consequently, Porter's Town was made into a separate parish and given its own church, All Saints. The Heygate family were great supporters of the new Church.
The Church was built in two main stages. the foundation stone was laid in 1886 and the building was completed in 1888. the Bishop of Colchester dedicated the building on June 18th 1889. Further extensions were built in 1924/5 and 1934. You can recognise these by the slight difference in the colour of the brickwork. Further work was completed recently when the modern stained glass windows replaced the Victorian coloured glass and the church was re-ordered and the altar placed in the nave.
