Great Bromley - St George

A stunning double hammerbeam roof spans the nave. It dates from c.1500 and was once brightly painted. Traces of this paintwork can still be seen at the eastern end. The stone corbels are carved with angels, and the braces terminate with carved defaced images of saints. The elegant, 7-bay clerestory was built at the same time as the roof.

Pevsner calls this "one of the most magnificent roofs of Essex". This image is looking west, towards the tower.
