The Church of St Mary the Virgin on Foulness Island was consecrated in 1853 when it replaced an older building that had been in a poor state of repair. It is now grade II listed. At the time of this photograph the church and churchyard was on the only land on the island that was not the property of the Ministry of Defence. Faced with a declining population and the restricted access to the public the church closed in 2010.
