About
St Nicholas Church literally takes the breath away, packed to the rafters with the kind of architectural treasures that most congregations can only dream of. From its soaring hammer-beam roof and stunning wheel window to the intricately carved rood screen with its cast of medieval characters. No wonder esteemed architectural historian Nikolas Pevsner called it ‘the finest church in Essex.’ A new illustrated church guidebook will be launched at the event. There's also a Young Explorer's Guide and illustrated village trail based on a 1592 map.
