South side of King's Walden Church St Mary's church was built in the 12C or 13C, the tower in the 14C and the clerestory, with its battlements, and S aisle in the 15C; note the Perpendicular-style windows. The porch was added in 1868 when the church was restored, and doesn't look right to me - a pity it wasn't built in stone to match the church. Some repairs to stonework (to the right of the staircase projection) have been made using red tiles.
