The Reverend Richard Cobbold lived in Wortham and wrote a detailed account of his life there during 1860. This is an amazing book, he wrote numerous anecdotes about his parishioners, giving details of life and gossip in the village, he even painted portraits of many of them. He vividly brings to life the personalities and character of ordinary people in a way we don't often see.
If you are researching relatives in Wortham there's a reasonable chance that they're in this book somewhere. Let me have their names and I'll look them up.
