most of the exterior of this church dates from the rebuild of 1866. the area must have been nice and remote until around then, now the villages are mostly ugly and depressing, with the churches locked and unloved

n.w.doorway, originally late c12, but restored heavily in 1866, and locked of course. south essex is depressing for anyone who likes churches.
