Single celled church of the 12th century, with a Norman font and unusual stone work added by a former rectors wife some of which is paganism. Situated in open Essex countryside in the very small village of Ovington Essex. Very peaceful with the beauty of the church being its simplicity. The churchyard has a war grave and links to prestigious families over the centuries.
