St Nicolas' Church, Witham

Highlight • Other

It is thought that there has been a church in Chipping Hill since the earliest days of Christianity in Essex. The site used to be the centre of the Witham Hundred and there is every indication that it has pre-historic origins.

St. Germanus Church, Faulkbourne

Highlight • Historical Site

St Germanus' Church is an active Church of England church in the village of Faulkbourne in Essex, England. Much of the existing church dates to the 12th and 13th centuries. It has been Grade I listed since 1967.

The church is dedicated to Saint Germanus, a bishop of Auxerre in Late Antique Gaul, who visited Britain to suppress the Pelagian heresy in about 429. The church may have been dedicated to Saint Germanus because it was consecrated on his feast day, 31 July.

The original Norman church, dating from the 12th century, was extended in the 13th century and restored in the 19th century. Its walls are constructed mainly of flint rubble and Roman brick, with red clay tiles on the roof. It has a timber-framed bell turret and spire, with a red brick porch and vestry, both attached to the south wall.

In 1886, the church was restored by the architect Arthur Blomfield at a cost of £800.
