Lamarsh

Lamarsh is a village and a civil parish in the Braintree District, in the county of Essex, England.

With there being such a high proportion of White British in the village, as expected the main religion is Christianity with 124 or 66.3% declaring themselves as within this category.

[12] With so many of the residents being White British, as expected a strong majority of the village's population stated that England was their country of birth in the 2011 census, with 92% or 172 people being English.

While females worked mostly in domestic services or offices, however most women, 45, were listed unknown occupation, which could suggest they may have been housewives.

This means that over half of the males and females were either not of working age or that many were left unaccounted when documenting occupational data.

There are also census data from 1831 detailing the parish's social structure, classified through occupations being grouped by status.

The data show that 73 people were classed as labourers and servants, 12 as middling sorts and 7 as employers and professionals.

[23] It stands in the middle of the parish with its walls built of flint-rubble that is rendered in concert, while its roof is tiled.

[24] A large "round tower" was also built to the west of the church and in the 19th century was capped by an Essex Spire which went under repair in both 1948 and 1974.
