Carole, I too would like to have copies of both your photos and transcripts.
I understand that you are going to have some photos posted on the Camp list,
but I would be interested in all the pictures. Will be glad to pay postage
and copying charges.

Subject: [CAMP-L] Nazeing and Frien Barnet, England
Content-Type: text/plain; charset="us-ascii"
Dear List:
WOW! My husband and I returned late last night from London. We
were extremely privileged to have visited our Camp roots in England.
Cragg Hines of this list bent over backwards to help me with the
logistics of the villages. I am forever in his debt.
Let me just say that if you've been considering visiting England and
if it is worth the effort and expense, don't hesitate!
The village of Frien Barnet is north of London. If you go from London
by train, it is still necessary to take a short bus ride to the village.
Once you've learned the quirks of the English system, it is easy to get
around, if a bit complicated. When we found the village, we had no
idea where the alms house of Lawrence Campe was located. Several well-
meaning village folk sent us in the wrong direction (on foot), but we
found an elderly man who had apparently helped in the restoration.
Our Lawrence's almshouse has been wonderfully restored and is now an
apartment building. I made a lot of photographs, and God-willing, if
they turn out will get them posted (Larry, HELP!) The Camp coat of
arms is over the doorways in the middle of the building as are several
plaques that have Biblical quotations and other notations.
My husband is a general construction contractor and thinks that the roof
is original. He does not share my genealogy interests, but good-naturedly
went along on this trip. He was almost as moved as I was. That something
could stand for almost four hundred years is impressive. That it was
ordered built by someone of our name is extraordinary!
The village of Nazeing is also north of London, but more easterly and is
served by a different rail. Thanks to Cragg, we arrived in the village
of Broxbourne without difficulty and immediately found a taxi. To our
good fortune, the taxi driver was great and his three children had been
baptised in the church! He took us straight to the church, which is
thriving. He told us he'd give us an hour to poke around and come back
for us. We were the only living souls there. The area is breathtaking!
The church sits on a knoll and the view from the backside near the
vicarage is what you'd imagine from story-books! I picked up some
printed matter about the ages of different additions of the church and
thumbed through the guest book. This particular one dated from 1996
and I didn't find one notation from anyone expressing Camp roots.
A later phone call to one of the current church members, Valerie Day,
was great. She told me that Tom Camp, also from Georgia is visiting
this Friday. I recalled mention from Camp newsletters, that I read
long after publication that he was helping the church and that he
had transcripts of the church records. What a coincidence that we'd
be visiting the same week! Mrs. Day confirmed that our earliest Camp
was baptised in the church in 1584 and is forwarding me the same
transcripts, which I'll make available to anyone who wants them.
I can't tell you how moving it is to have put my hand in the same
baptismal font that was used in the baptism of our Thomas Camp.
The church caretaker told us that the earliest tombstone inscription
that is still readable is from 1702.
What an experience!!!!!!
I'll let you know soon how the photos turned out and when I receive
the transcripts.
Carole

Carole,
I'd be interested in the material, transcripts, etc. from
Nazezing. Thanks for the offer.

I will post them for sure Carole. AND to the rest of the list I have been out
of town on a family emergency for the past two weeks. I just returned this
morning and have several pictures to post. They will be done by the close of
the weekend. BTW the family emergency passed without the worst. Thank goodness
all is well now and I will get all these dang pictures posted.
Thank you all for your patience.
