ABANDONED ESSEX CHURCHES | BERNERS RODING

This is the first in a new series of short videos I have been filming recently, documenting my home counties abandoned and ruined churches. I plan to document those in other surrounding counties like Kent, Suffolk, Hertfordshire and Cambridgeshire in the future. This church in particular is not far from where I used to live and grew up. I've known about it for years and hadn't been back in many years. All Saints Church closed during the 1980's. Deconsecrated in March 1985, the church dates from the fourteenth century, and was first mentioned in registers in 1538 and still has two windows of that age. The church had a bell dated 1594 but this is long gone. On the inside the wooden floor on which once stood the pews is rotted and cracked an sunlight streams through several cracks in the walls. There is no stained glass and only two interior monuments - one monument is dated 1591 and 1593. The pulpit remains, plus one stool and a kneeler. In the corner are rusting oil fires and an oil can. Research on the internet suggest that a planning application for residential use had been submitted but might have been rejected - probably due to lack of road access. The church and graveyard is now managed by Epping Forest Countrycare and had been owned by an un-named party since 2008. Apart from that, there is very little information regarding this particular church. Music: https://www.bensound.com/royalty-free...
