The church tower is brilliantly floodlit at night, as are some of the gravestones in front of it.

St. Peter & St. Thomas Becket church, Stambourne, Essex

This magnificent 11th century Norman church tower is more like a small castle keep. It has many reused Roman bricks around the tower windows and on some corners, and the tower walls are 4ft thick. The nave is 14th century and the chancel is 16th century. This picture also shows its lovely tudor porch.

Essex Hall, near Stambourne, Essex

Even though this is called Essex Hall, the buildings that made up the site gave the indication that it is, or was, a farm.

Warehouse east of Stambourne

Presumably built as an agricultural barn or workshop but now apparently occupied by the Balti Rice Company. There is a farmstead directly opposite on the south side of the road.

Toppesfield: The village pump

The pump is in the centre of the village at the junction of The Street, Park Lane, and Church Lane. Next to it is a fine old fingerpost road sign currently in need of a little care and attention. Reading rather like some good away results in the local football league the directions are: To the left: Gt Yeldham 2 Finchingfield 4 To the right: Stambourne 2 Ridgewell 4 Also to the right but without mileages: Berwick Hall and Mortimer's Farm. The ground height here is at 86 metres above sea level, quite high for an Essex village. The road has just been surface dressed creating swirls of billowing dust every time a large truck passes by and a windscreen chip hazard for any motorist.
