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.
