Very much in contrast to the industrial corridor along the Thames a few grid-squares to the south. In the Essex volume of 'The Buildings of England' Pevsner gives a 13th century date for the oldest parts of the church, including the tower. Shingles - wooden tiles - have been used for the cladding of the spire.
