These are more examples of Essex Church images that show the Architecture, the Interiors, the Exteriors and especially the Stained Glass Windows that I have taken over the last two to three years.  Hope you enjoy them as much as I did visiting them. 
     Billericay is a large town of Essex of approx 35,000 people and close to the now City of Chelmsford (8.9 miles) with close ties to rail and motorway (M25).
St Mary Magdalen church is an Anglican church situated centrally in the High Street.  It has origins back on the site from 1342 when the first church was erected.  The only possible survivor from this early building was the bell, which was hung in the new tower completed in 1490.  The bell was re-cast in the late 19th cent and still serves.
1490 is the date when the church was completely rebuilt in the ‘Perpendicular Gothic’ style and just thought to be made up of a Tower, a Nave and a chancel with north and south aisle.
The was some dispute over the dedication, it appeared the John the Baptist’s name was on a bequest however the Bishop of London dedicated it to Mary Magdalen with all the ‘usual privileges’.
In 1781 another complete rebuild, this time of Georgian influence.  A red-bricked building which incorporated the 15th cent Tower.
In 1950 there was a period of restoration due to war damage and general decline.  The one thing that was obvious that the church was too small for it’s congregation and in 1992 they moved to a new church, The Emmanuel Parish Church.
St Mary Magdalen underwent a new restoration, now it has special services and is a welcoming place for the local community.
