All Saints church, Wrabness, Essex This church dates back to the Norman period and, unlike most churches, a later tower was never added to house the bells. Instead, a timber cage-like structure was built to house the bells in the 17th or 18th centuries. It can be seen on the left in this picture, and it was originally weatherboarded.
