The original Norman church was built between 1080 and 1100, incorporating some reused Roman bricks. It was enlarged by the addition of a south aisle in the 14th century and finally the north aisle (seen here) in 1875, designed by the diocesan architect Frederic Chancellor. The aisles are unusually wide for a village church, so that the plan of the nave is almost square. The church is listed Grade I https://britishlistedbuildings.co.uk/101122058-church-of-ss-mary-and-laurence-great-waltham Essex Churches http://www.simonknott.co.uk/essexchurches/gwaltham.htm
