The Essex Calf group takes its name from the traditional nickname given to Essex folk; in the later [[Middle Ages]], Essex was best known to the outside world for the huge quantity of excellent beef calves sent from Essex to the London meat markets, so ‘Essex Calf’ became a slang term for anyone from the county. Stephen Pewsey’s specialisms within the group include the history of [[Epping Forest]], [[London Borough of Newham|Newham]], South-east Essex, and Essex’s historical links with the [[United States of America]]. |
