Dist:0.5km<br/>This is St Mary Mundon some of the structure may possibly date back to the Norman period but the date of founding is unknown. There were later additions in 16th and 18th centuries. It was declared redundant in 1970 but is still consecrated. The ravages of time have not been kind to the structure. However the Friends of Friendless Churches who saved the building from residential conversion in 1975 are still fighting to save it. They need funds urgently to prevent this Essex gem from final collapse. A major building programme to underpin the structure and other repairs is about to begin. This work is being carried out with the help of visitors and the local community. See http://www.friendsoffriendlesschurches.org.uk/churches/mundon/mundon.htm for more info. The St Peters Way long distance path passes through the Churchyard.

Dist:0.6km<br/>The Ordnance Survey expects ramblers to walk on water on St Peters Way! It indicates the right of way crossing the moat about twenty metres in front of the photographer position. Interestingly the moat is shown as broken at this point on the 1940s map. The waymarks helpfully state the path has been diverted by statutory order (not to mention common sense!)

Dist:0.6km<br/>One can only speculate what has killed a whole meadow full of trees near Mundon Hall. A quick google reveals these oaks were mentioned in the Domesday Book, their twisted trunks saved them from the shipwrights of previous centuries. See http://www.springstep-dairy.co.uk/farm.htm

Dist:0.7km<br/>According to http://www.springstep-dairy.co.uk/farm.htm : The oak forest in Mundon is first mentioned in the Domesday book. Later, the oaks narrowly missed being cut down for use as masts when a fleet was built to sail against the Spanish Armada.
