St. Peter; the parish church of old Nevendon
Image: © Robert Edwards Taken: 9 Apr 2008
This small church is mainly 13th to 15th century and is located in Basildon new town. Nevendon is one of a handful of villages that was swallowed up by the new town and it is not easy to imagine what the original village looked like. An 18th century map shows that the village did indeed surround this church but modern maps now show Nevendon a good distance east of this church. Judging by the neat and tidy graveyard it is still a church that is loved and cared for, which is good to know.
