This magnificent church, locally known as the "Cathedral of the Tendring Hundred" has a superb double hammerbeam roof dating from a re-build in the 15th century, which is now in need of renovation. It is also famous for it's links with the Stone family early settlers in Massachusetts. This is marked by a stained glass window.

Erected in the 1904 by the Stone family Association, which, thanks to the internet, has undergone a rebirth! See it's dedication here.
Perhaps it's most interesting monument is the carved capital found on the pillar nearest the south door.
However, there is much else of interest, including this magnificent brass of William Bischopton, from 1432, which has the script "Mother of God remember me" issuing from his lips.
The most unusual element to be seen is the collection of hats, to be found hanging beneath the tower. These have belonged to the bell ringer, and the earliest dates from 1716.

The final treasure is to be seen as you leave. Above the South door, inside the porch you can see the weathered, but still recognisable figures of Adam and Eve.
