St Mary, Ovington

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. A sweet little Essex church in a field beside the Hall, about a mile from its village. A hard track runs up to the Hall which you can take (I did) or there is a footpath from the village. It wasn't clear to me if the church was still in use - there were a few notices, but nothing current. I suspect it is not used in winter. It didn't look interesting inside - all the windows are clear, so you can see inside. A bog standard restoration of the 1870s I should think. And again, ecclesiological junk set in the outer walls, because Ovington was under the same Rector and his wife as Tilbury. Despite being locked no keyholder, I quite liked it really. I'd like to see it again in sunshine. I'm not really that bothered about getting inside. Simon Knott, January 2013
