St Martin, White Roding

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. Pleasantly set up a lane with its east window facing the approach. Stunningly old late Saxon south doorway. The door looks old too, but it can't be that old, can it? Unusually for this part of Essex, this church is kept locked, as are neighbouring Leaden Roding and Margaret Roding, the only locked churches for miles around. There is a keyholder notice with two phone numbers for the key, but it was already past three o'clock, and I wanted to visit as many churches as possible before returning to Chelmsford, so I didn't ring. I chatted briefly to an old lady tending a spectacular bonfire in the corner of the churchyard. She must have been a girl guide as a youngster. Then on my bike eastwards on the Bishops Stortford to Chelmsford road. Simon Knott, April 2014
