Some of you may know that I have been conducting research into the
“Lost Village of Silverley” and although my findings are limited, I would like to share them with you. Just maybe some more information might be forthcoming and we can fill in a few more gaps.
Before I start, I would like to acknowledge the work of Robert Halliwell. His article, “The Churches of Ashley and Silverley”, published in the Proceedings of the Cambridge Antiquarian Society, Vol LXXIII in 1984, is an extensive treatise on the subject covering the ecclesiastical history of the villages, but with no information regarding the location of the village of Silverley. I am indebted to him for the useful information contained therein and urge anyone who wishes a much greater understanding of local church history to consult his article.
