St Christopher's Church is on Meadow Way and is part of the parish of St James in Clacton-on-Sea. Frank Christopher Stedman bought a large tract of land at Jaywick in 1928 for a mixed beach and chalet development. St Christopher’s Church was completed in 1933 and dedicated by the Bishop of Chelmsford on 15 December that year. The name of St Christopher came from Mr Stedman who had donated the land for the church. Within the church there is a memorial to commemorate those who lost their lives during the flooding of Jaywick on the night of Saturday 31 January and the morning of Sunday 1 February 1953.
