Thin Roman bricks have been used in the construction of this window aperture - to be found in the north chancel wall of St Peter's church, Goldhanger. With a little experience it becomes quite easy to identify Roman bricks, recycled in this way. Their presence in a structure is generally reckoned to be evidence of 11th century work - and often as evidence of Anglo-Saxon origins. As for the basic structure of the building, it looks to me as if the chancel wall incorporates puddingstone along with flint.
