Twinstead, Essex...

I think the Charles Dearsley who was baptised in Twinstead in 1682 may be my ancestor ... in the absence of evidence of any other Charles Dearsleys I am going to claim this one!  His parents were Charles Dearsley and Sarah Stebbing who were married in the lovely church in Long Melford in 1680.

 

This church was built in 1859......
