"MINSTER (SOUTH), a parish in the hundred of
DENGIE, county of ESSEX, 3 miles (N. by E.) from
Burnham, containing 1445 inhabitants. The living is a
vicarage, in the archdeaconry of Essex, and diocese of
London, rated in the king's books at £21, and in the
patronage of the Governors of the Charter-house, London.
The church, dedicated to St. Leonard, is a cruciform
structure, and has lately received an addition of
three hundred and sixty sittings, of which two hundred
and fifty are free, the Incorporated Society for the
enlargement of churches and chapels having granted
£400 towards defraying the expense. There are slight
remains of a chapel at Southminster hall. The Independents
have a place of worship here. A National
school was established by the late vicar. The parish
is bounded on the south-east by Crouch river, and on
the east by the North sea." [From Samuel Lewis A Topographical Dictionary of England (1831) - copyright Mel Lockie 2016]
