Church and priory were begun in about 1086 by Henry de Ferrers. The Norman west doorway, including an arch of alabaster, the first one ever allegedly, is said to be one of the finest examples in England. The apse at the east end was constructed in 1868 to a design by G E Street (George Edmund) born 20th June 1824 at Woodford in Essex. This view of the war memorial is looking away from the church near the south door. Time taken 1.18 pm GMT (Greenwich Mean Time).
