Essex Churches (J - M)

The chancel of Lawford Church was built in the fourteenth century. It contains 8 stone-framed windows which provided a degree of internal light which was quite unusual at the time.The north east window is interesting in that it depicts people and humour, with portrayals of revellers dancing, wrestling, playing instruments and holding each other by the leg.

Octagonal, early sixteenth century. Carved on the sides are the symbols of the four evangelists, alternating with rosettes. The carving is quite primitive. The main picture shows the lion: the other symbols are shown as notes. Matthew: an angel Mark: a winged lion Luke: a winged ox John: an eagle
