History of Latimer

A Church by the Chess. St Mary Magdalene, Latimer, by local scholar and historian Tim Leary, tells the history of the church from the first thirteenth-century building to the current church, which was built in 1841. Its publication coincides with the completion of the conservation of the angel wall painting inside the church. All profits from the sale of this well-illustrated book go to Latimer church. Price £10.

The History of Latimer by Rosemary Went is an extensively illustrated book on the history of the village. It is also available at £10, with proceeds going to church funds.
