St Clement's Church, Leigh-on-Sea

Highlight • Historical Site

Of the current church, the oldest part of the building is the present north aisle, dating from around 1400. Legend has it that the stones the church is built from were taken from the ruins of Hadleigh Castle, although this is wholly apocryphal. The ceiling of the north aisle resembles the inverted hull of a ship and it is thought that it may have been constructed by the boat builders of medieval Leigh.
