St Andrew - Althorne, Essex (08, 09 & 16)
Althorne, Essex – St Andrew’s Church
These are more examples of Essex Churches that show the Architecture, the Interiors, the Exteriors and especially the Stained Glass Windows that I have taken over the last year or two. Have included Commonwealth War Graves as a mark of respect to those who made the ultimate sacrifice.
Althorne is a small village about 9 miles from Maldon, Essex. St. Andrew’s church was built in the late 14th century, it had modifiations in the 16th. The nave is late 14th, the West Tower is circa 1500, the chancel, early 16th and the South Porch 1800’s. It was restored in the 20th century, much of the Chancel Arch, most of the Chancel windows were replaced. It is built of flint and stone-rubble. There are two bells in the tower, one from 1480 and the other 1638 but not in use.
There is a brass plaque on the north wall in memory of three boys who drowned in the River Crouch on Easter Monday 1919, a very sad incident.
There hangs above the south door a Georgian coat of arms of the House of Hanover. The is a fine sculptured font of seven panels and a number of brass panels decorate the walls. One dedicated to William Hyklott, 1508 “which paide for the werkmanship of the wall of this churche”
