c15 tower, added to a norman church , with much later expansion and restoration. locked, no sign of a keyholder. it seems that south essex is full of incomers with no interest in the area's heritage. this church still sits in a rural area, but the tide of tawdry executive estates and p.v.a. windows crawls ever closer, and the bleak beauty of these thames-side fens and marshes will soon be gone.

mid c12 south doorway, later filled in with norman rubble. the church was locked, with no info. about any keyholder.

tombstone of mathias fox, 1700; skull, bones, scythe, shovel
