St James - Dengie, Essex (04)

Dengie, Essex – St James

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 two to three years. Hope you enjoy them as much as I did visiting them.

Dengie is a small village just about 14.8 from Maldon in Essex. St. James Church was built sometime in the 14th Century. The outside walls constructed of flint and pebbles, sand coloured. The windows are 14th century, some with an ‘s’ shaped patten. There is not a lot of history I could find. Between 1849-50 the church was restored, new benches added, a bell-cote added and a south nave.

The Reredos and Sedilia were added in 1878, made from stone and designed by The Rector, E J Warmington and three painted panels by Miss Warmington. The Nave Roof was restored and the North Vestry was added from 1909-10, P M Beaumont did the restoration. There is one of the stained glass windows (The East Window) completed in 1921 by John Hall & Son. Have yet to visit the inside of the church but must return to the exterior as I did not have enough time to photograph the building.
