Yesterday we went to the fate at St Michaels Church, Theydon Mount where we were treated to a guided tour around the fabulous Church, that sits on the hill, at the feet of the glorious Hill Hall. We were also treated to a choir singing as we came in !!! ( Courtesy of Christine Gwynn )
Of course, all of this was accompanied with lashings and lashings of tea and homemade cakes !!!

I had the chance to visit St Margaret's Church in Stansford Rivers last week, the most wonderful part was looking at the Muriel on the wall as you come in, and being told that all the faces on it were local villagers!! That's just brilliant!! ( The other highlight of course was David Sapsford bell ringing 😁😁)

Thank you Christine Gwynn for sharing 🙏❤️

The Church of St Andrew in Ongar, Essex, is thought to be the oldest standing wooden church in the world. ⛪

Tree-ring dating of the church's timbers suggests it was constructed around 1063.

The timber portion of the church comprises 51 vertical oak logs, which were split to be rounded on the outside of the church and flat inside.

Excavations of the church's chancel in the 1960s revealed two earlier timber structures dating from the 6th and 7th centuries.
