A visit to the island in 2000 by Rev John Fleetwood. He was invited to St Nicholas Church for the 40th anniversary of the building. He also visited the Heritage Centre (formally St Katherines Church) where he had been the vicar prior to St Nicholas being built. You can read all about his life on Canvey in his memoirs Reflected Glory.
