St. Mary Magdalene, Harlow holds regular flower festivals which denote a specific event. The one pictured is from the Victory in Europe display, 2005. Although now part of Harlow New Town, St. Mary Magdalene was the village church for Potter Street, one of the villages swallowed up by the development of the new town.

Here's a closer view of Latton Priory taken from the footpath of Rundells, off the B1393. It may look scenic, but the M11 is very close by and so is the noise from the traffic.
