This book provides a detailed exploration of the history of the parish of Loughton, tracing its origins from before the Domesday Book through various significant social and economic developments up to the 16th century. The topic centers around the evolution of Loughton as a settlement, including descriptions of
its manors, tenants, and noteworthy events, amidst the backdrop of broader historical trends. The book unfolds chronologically, beginning with the mention of Loughton in the reign of King Edward and its significance in the Domesday Book. Waller meticulously outlines the changes in land ownership over the centuries, particularly the relations between landowners, tenants, and the monastic authorities of the time. He brings to life the social dynamics of the parish, detailing the responsibilities of tenants to their lords and the communal activities that bonded the villagers.
