St Nicholas Church South Ockendon has had many refurbishments over the centuries. Only the west wall survives from the 12th Century original. Much of the rest of the building dates from the 13th Century. In the 1650’s the wooden tower was destroyed by lightning. The current round tower is one of only a few in the country outside of Suffolk and Norfolk.
