Dist:0.5km<br/>The sarsen stones in the tower are sandstone boulders brought down by ice in the glacial period, and were probably previously used as ritual marker stones in a Stone Age temple on the site. Some of the other building material came from a Roman villa nearby. The church dates back to the early twelfth century and the reign of Henry I.

The railway embankment to the right as far as White Colne was a nature reserve managed by Essex wildlife Trust http://www.essexwt.org.uk/ however management has now passed back to the local authority. The photo was taken looking upstream.
