Church Of All Saints

The Church of All Saints is a ruined church dating from the late 13th century, which has undergone significant rebuilding, likely after the fall of a tower in the early 15th century. During this time, a north aisle was added, along with a north porch built around 1605. The church is constructed from flint and stone rubble, with some limestone dressings and red brick, and currently has a missing roof. It features a west tower, a three-bay nave, and a north porch. The chancel and north aisle were demolished around 1605 by Sir John Swinterton when the church became a chapel for Great Stanway Hall.

The west tower consists of three stages, with late 13th-century flint and stone below the tower arch, showcasing a chequered and moulded plinth. Above this, there are early 15th-century narrow bricks arranged in single stretcher courses, interspersed with courses of pebble flints, topped with an embattled parapet and stepped buttresses. The south staircase door has a two-centred arch with a moulded arch. Inside, there is an early 15th-century domical brick vault. The nave's south wall features a door with a two-centred head and arched windows. The early 15th-century north aisle arcade includes quatrefoil piers with hollows between the foils, round moulded capitals, and two-centred arches. The chancel arch is blocked with an early 17th-century brick window, and there is early 17th-century brick infilling, including a north doorway with a four-centred arch and dripmoulding. The north porch, built around 1605 in English bond brick, has a stepped gable with a blank panel, a four-centred arch, and colonnettes. The church has been derelict since around 1700.
