All Saints - Doddinghurst, Essex (46)

Doddinghurst, Essex – All Saints

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.

Doddinghurst is a village about 3.8 miles outside Brentwood in Essex and the Church is situated in Church Lane.

The church was built in the 13th century with additions in the 14th (the timber-framed belfrey) and 16th centuries(the timber framed porch to the south door). A large part of the interior of the church was restored in 1887 as was the exterior. Here the walls were either rebuilt or refaced.

One of the bells in the tower was cast by Robert Mot who also made one for the ‘Mayflower’, the lead ship of the ‘Pilgim Fathers’.

The Bell Tower itself was in poor condition, so in 2001 restoration took place allowing the Belles to be rung again.

There are some fine examples of Victorian stained glass throughout the church, a nice church to visit.
