St Martin, White Roding, Essex
Locked with a keyholder notice. Pleasantly set up a lane with its east window facing the approach. Stunningly old Saxon south doorway. The door looks old too, but it can't be that old, can it? Two phone numbers for the key, but it was already 3 o'clock and I wanted to get in a few more churches yet, so I didn't ring, and neither did I for the next two, which also had keyholder notices with phone numbers. I chatted briefly to an old lady tending a spectacular bonfire in the corner of the churchyard. She must have been a girl guide as a youngster.
Berners Roding Church (dedication unknown but believed to be All Saints) is situated within the small hamlet of Berners Roding approximately 6 miles NE of Chipping Ongar. The church is adjacent to Berners Hall and surrounded by arable fields to be east and north, Berners Hall farm to the west and is accessed via a narrow track leading from the road to the south.
Whilst the exact origins of the church are unknown, elements of the building appear to date from the 14th century. The nave and chancel are of an unknown date but the east and west walls are believed to be 16th century. The church once had a weather-boarded belfry that housed a single bell dated 1594 (cast by John Dyer – bell foundry Chelmsford). A survey of the church by Nikolaus Pevsner for his book “The Buildings of England – Essex” published in 1954 shows the belfry was present and it was therefore removed after this date. The whereabouts of the bell is unknown.
The church was deconsecrated in 1985 and is now in a very sorry state.

Part of my rebooting the art of contemporaneous note-taking.
I still write with pen and paper but lately I've been writing by talking first, reviewing a transcript second, and then publishing my ideas third.
I watch students who have forgotten the art of taking written notes. Because they can annotate on tablets and phones they don't keep running notes with ink and paper. And they're also completing assignments digitally, from start to finish.
We're discussing what this means during the Reshaping Education Conference in Thurles on Saturday, May 13, 2023.

All Saints, High Roding, Essex
A mile distant from its village, at the end of a long lane with only a farm for company. The church was locked with a keyholder notice, two keyholders. A medium sized late medieval church with no tower. The churchyard was bowling-green smooth. There didn't seem much of interest through the largely clear windows. A large graveyard, though, for the village it serves is the largest in the area, so plenty of people sleeping the sleep of the just in the churchyard. Oddly, several of the graves have 1930s ceramic floral displays under glass domes - strange to think of them sitting here for 80 years. I cycled on, up through the village. I hadn't realised how high I was, but as I turned back towards the forest I descended steeply for several miles to the very pretty village of Great Canfield with its church.
