Hervey W. G. Benham (; 1910–1987), was the pioneering proprietor of Essex County Newspapers, a prolific author of books on Essex and the East Coast, an accomplished musician and a significant benefactor. Of his at least fourteen books, among the best known are ''Down Tops'l'', ''Last Stronghold of Sail'' and ''Once Upon a Tide''. Hervey Benham was editor of the ''Essex County Standard'' from 1943 - 1965. In 1964 he commenced production of the paper using web-offset lithography, a revolutionary printing process that he had pioneered with fellow newspaper proprietor Arnold Quick in Colchester, Essex. The Standard was described by the trade paper ''Printing World'' as Britain's best produced weekly newspaper. His daughter, Jane Benham, played a significant role in the maritime educational East Coast Sail Trust, in which Hervey was also involved, and in the preservation of Thames sailing barges. ==Bibliography== Books written by Hervey Benham include: * * * * * * * * 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Hervey Benham」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
