St Andrews Church, Greensted-Juxta-Ongar - Sunday 19th October 2014
St Andrews claims to be the oldest wooden Church in England. It is a perty little church worth a detour.
Taking the Chemlsford to Harlow (A414) Turn South at the Roundabout in Ongar and as you go through the village turn Right over the bridge
and follow your nose for about a mile and the church comes up on your right, all sign posted with Brown Signs.

Small is Beautiful It reminds me in may ways of a Nodric church, which I suppose it is very similar too, as a
Saxon church Built around the time of the Norman Conquest.
The Porch Leads into the church.
The Nave is small but nicely proportioned. Though quite dark.
The Roof some carvings but I suspect the the Victorians had a hand in this roof and other interior features as they did
in may churches across the country.
The Stained Glass is quite nice but again I think is mainly victorian.
I do not know who this is but it is a nice photo!
Outside again you can see the planking (half tree-trunks).
North SideJust a little dirtier.
