St Andrew, Earls Colne

Click on the 'play' symbol in the second image to see all my photographs of this church as a slide show, then click on any image in the slideshow to see it large in a new page. Alternatively, if you don't have flash enabled, you can go straight to the set for this church on flickr. Earls Colne is a large village, virtually a small town, and the setting of the church at the east end is dramatic, on a sloping site which the main road circumnavigates. The church was open. The church sign says Everyone Welcome, for prayer and reflection, to view, explore and study. It adds that access may be restricted for funerals and other private services, which I thought was a nice touch, as it implied access was the normal state of affairs. Entirely 19th Century inside, though big and grand and with a sense of place, nowhere near as anonymous as Kelvedon. I warmed to it a lot, and liked it despite its restoration. Simon Knott, October 2012
