St Edmund's Church - Abbess Roding, Essex (25)
Abbess Roding, Essex – St Edmund’s Church
These are more examples of Essex Church images that show the Architecture, the Interiors, the Exteriors and especially the Stained Glass Windows that I have taken over the last two or three years.
Abbess Roding is a village approx 11.3 miles from Harlow on the A1060. There appears to have been a church on the site probably going back to the 12th century and the dedication to St Edmund indicates that but the present church (Nave) was built in 14th cent. The walls are of flint rubble but again quite a lot of restoration has been done. The Chancel is of 14th-15th cent origin, the Tower and Porch, these were rebuilt in the late 1860’s.
The Stain Glass and Oak Screen are both of 15th century manufacture. The pulpit, described by Pevsner, has an uncommonly fine tester (a small roof like structure above pulpit, for rebounding the sound back into the church). There is a memorial tablet to the Capel family, again from the 15th cent along side tablets to two different rectors of the parish and one in memory of those who fell in World War 1.
There is also an oak carved Altar Screen (Reredos), this was carved by Miss Capel-Cure in 1938 along with other items.
This is the second of two posting, the first five are shown in the album Essex Churches…
