Apart from this tower, little is left of Ewell's medieval parish church. The tower is somewhat hemmed in by tall conifers, so that even in mid-December I was unable to get an open view from a distance. In the area around the tower (at the southern end of the churchyard) there are dozens (possibly hundreds) of Georgian tombstones - so perhaps the old church was not abandoned until its replacement was built. The current church dates from 1848, and stands a few hundred yards further north, at the far end of the extensive churchyard.
