Alternatively, if you don't have flash enabled, you can go straight to the set for this church on flickr.

Now a private house. The Diocese of Chelmsford suffered the same brush with insanity as several other dioceses in the 1970s, selling off wherever possible any church they could get off the books, and this was one of them. A 13th Century church in the Essex style, rendered nave/chancel with a wooden bell turret.

The Edwardian screen and glass are apparently still in situ - it looks fabulous, lending itself far more to domestic living than a typical East Anglian tower/nave/chancel church would. The church is fenced off from the churchyard so you can still approach all the graves.

Simon Knott, October 2012
