Whilst people have been worshipping on this spot for over 1,000 years, this beautiful church was originally built somewhere around 1350, nearly 700 years ago. It was originally designed with a tower in mind, but it was never completed. Legend says that every time the builders stopped for the night, the devil tore it down. Whatever happened, the five bells, considered the heaviest in England, are now housed in a bell cage and still rung before each service.

A quiet alternative to the busier A137 between Ardleigh and Lawford, although the twisty and narrow road and the need to give way if you meet any oncoming vehicles mean it's considerably slower. Ok if you're just one or two riders but if you're in a group you're better sticking to the main road.
