St. Catherine's church at East Tilbury

This is a very old church that dates back to the Norman period and possibly stands on the site of a Saxon monastery. This picture shows a brick blocked tower arch, which is proof that this church once had a west tower. A replacement tower was due to be built and the base of it was completed to the southwest corner of the church in 1917. Further building of the tower has never continued.
