Many of the early postcards are from the Joan Gurney collection. Some images or parts of images come from photographs taken for the Adult Community College by Stephanie Mackrill Photography and Harland Payne Photo. All other colour and monochrome photographs come from contributions through the Sharing Heritage project, from the former Grandad’s Photography Museum, East Hill, Colchester, or from the collections of (or taken by) Joan Gurney and Alan Skinner, except where noted. A few illustrations, some of unknown source, many of which have been provided by contributors from home and abroad during this wide-reaching community education project, are believed to be free of copyright, but the authors, c/o the CALA Charity, would be pleased to hear from any unacknowledged source, photographer, individual or organisation.
The authors wish to acknowledge the work of the late Rev Mrs Jill Newham, whose initial and detailed research 25 years ago enthused and guided them in this project.
Very many others have helped in numerous ways and offered support, guidance and encouragement, giving freely of their time and knowledge. These include Dr John Ashdown-Hill, Philip Crummy and Don Shimmin of the Colchester Archaeological Trust, Peter Froste, Dr Michael Leach, Jess Jephcott, Robert Marks, Richard Humphreys of Humphrey’s Weaving Co Sudbury, Marion Williams, Yvonne Carter, Terry Bird, Juliet and Tony Crick, Bob Everitt, Mike Shute, Diana Hargrave, Yvonne Watts, Julie Wilde, Sheila Scott, Valerie Denniss, Simon Gallup, Beth Chatto, Jo Edwards, Matthew Tanton Brown, CCHS Old Girls’/Alumnae Association. Thanks are also due to Sylvia Skinner and Gerald Gurney not only for their patience and tolerance over seven years of book preparation, but also for proofreading duties.
Finally, the authors wish to record their appreciation of the time given by all those who have supplied memories and information. Everyone with an interest in Grey Friars is encouraged to use this website to take part in the ongoing project. We are sure there is much more to discover regarding this fascinating part of our historic town.
