Our Church - A Grand Tour!

view of All Saints Church Well, here it is. This is All Saints Church! For over 1000 years, Christians have met and worshiped on this site. During the 400 years of Roman occupation, soldiers camped here over night whilst marching between London and Colchester. Remains from the occupation can be seen today in the form of tiles which have been incorporated into the walls of the church. In 1066, William the Conqueror sent his son, Ralph, into East Anglia to compile the Doomsday Book. While here, Ralph records that he found a Saxon church built from wood with a thatched roof. Due to its state of disrepair, he ordered it to be demolished, and a new stone church to be built in its place. |
