All Saints' Church is of
Norman origin The
chancel and
nave date to the early 17th century. The bell turret dates to the 14th and 15th centuries. There are various 1869 and later repairs and restorations. The church is built of ragstone rubble, with Reigate stone and
Barnack stone dressings. It has a red plain tiled roof and a cedar-
shingled bell turret and spirelet. The church is unique among Essex churches inasmuch that its south door is of a rare
rebated or interlocking type, with only five other churches in the county having similar doors. This door was faced to the south in 1869. Other examples can be found at the churches located in
Castle Hedingham and
Elmstead. The brass shows Stapel dressed in the armour he would have worn at the
Battle of Crécy in 1346. and the brass and slab were moved again to St Andrew's Church in nearby
Rochford, Essex in 2018, where they were set into the internal north wall of the tower. ==References==
