  Kingdom Of Essex - LoveToKnow 1911
KINGDOM OF ESSEX, one of the kingdoms into which Anglo-Saxon Britain was divided, properly the land of the East Saxons.
The boundaries of Essex were in later times the rivers Stour and Thames, but the original limits of the kingdom are quite uncertain; towards the west it probably included most if not the whole of Hertfordshire, and in the 7th century the whole of Middlesex.
As the laws of Ine of Wessex speak of Erconwald as "my bishop," it is possible that the influence of Wessex for a short time prevailed in Essex; but a subsequent charter of Swefred is approved by Coenred of Mercia, and Offa, the son of Sigehere, accompanied the same king to Rome in 709.

 Essex Estuaries - United Kingdom
The Essex Coast, situated in the east coast of UK, is an estuarine coast with extensive areas of fringing saltmarshes, mudflats and offshore sand banks.
There appears to be a general decline in beach levels, attributed to the poor supply of material from the north and enclosure and subsequent use of slatmarshes for agriculture.
The strategy adopted for this case was the construction of breakwaters, polders, embankments and seawalls to protect the land from floodings.

 KINGDOM OF ESSEX
In the year 653 we find Northumbrian influence paramount in Essex, for King Sigeberht at the instance of Oswio became a Christian and received Cedd, the brother of St Chad, in his kingdom as bishop, Tilbury and Ythanceastere (on the Blackwater) being the chief scenes of his work.
As the laws of me of Wessex speak of Erconwald as my bishop, it is possible that the influence of Wessex for a short time prevailed in Essex; but a subsequent charter of Swefred is approved by Coenred of Mercia, and Offa, the son of Sigehere, accompanied the same king to Rome in 709.
In 743 or 745 Althelbald of Mercia is found granting privileges at the port of London, and perhaps the western portiOn of the kingdom had already been annexed, for henceforward London is frequently the meeting-place of the Mercian council.
