Taken from the website. "This fascinating church is built of mellow red Tudor brick and stands in magnificent isolation with wide views to the Thames. The Tyrells of nearby Heron Hall rebuilt the Norman church in the fifteenth century and were buried here for four centuries. Years of decay, theft and vandalism followed until the All Saints Society and the Trust rescued the church in the 1970s. There is an exquisite memorial slab to Lady Alice Tyrell (who died in 1422) and a little chantry containing the tomb of Sir Thomas Tyrell (who died in 1476) and his wife. Also to be seen are curious galleried upper rooms in the transepts, one with a Tudor fireplace which may have housed a resident priest"

There's a cafe in here - also a toilet block and a shelter from the sun/rain.

Walk down the public footpath to get a great view of this magnificent building. Built between 1764-1770 by the architect James Paine, it was originally owned by Baron Petre of Writtle, one of Britain's wealthiest land owners. The house is now private luxury apartments and cottages.

Thorndon Old Hall burnt down in the 18th century, leaving behind ruins and Old Hall Pond. The pond is now a fishing lake and a popular spot for recreation. Make sure you pop out of the woods at the south west corner of the pond for incredible views over the Essex countryside to the south. It is easy to see why they built a mansion here.

Now luxury apartments, Thorndon Hall was built in the late 18th century as the Petre family's country mansion. The house is set in a medieval deer park through which a footpath leads so it's possible run straight through the country estate.

From this vantage point on the hill above Childerditch Pond you can enjoy beautiful views of the valley to the south west and also across into Thorndon Park to the north east. A lovely place to stop for a rest.

Located in close proximity to Thorndon Old Hall which burnt down in the 18th century, the Pond is also known as Old Hall Pond. It is now a fishing lake and a popular spot for walkers. Make sure you pop out of the woods at the south west corner of the pond for incredible views over the Essex countryside to the south.

At the edge of Thorndon Country Park South you are rewarded with incredible far reaching views to the south. The ruins of Thorndon Old Hall are just behind you and it is easy to see why this spot was picked for the location of a country mansion. It was badly damaged by fire in the early 18th century and a new estate house was built a short distance to the north close to Ingrave.
