Architectural Features
C14 south aisle rebuilt and probably also west tower and west end of church rebuilt.
Late C15 south chapel.
Limestone, Roman tile and brick dressings.
It is known that Roman tiles were often re-used in Anglo-Saxon times, but the practice seems to have continued in early Norman times - which is said to be the likely case here.
Roman brick and tiled north quoin.
Thin Roman bricks have been used in the construction of this window aperture - to be found in the north chancel wall of St Peter's church, Goldhanger. With a little experience it becomes quite easy to identify Roman bricks, recycled in this way. Their presence in a structure is generally reckoned to be evidence of 11th century work - and often as evidence of Anglo-Saxon origins. As for the basic structure of the building, it looks to me as if the chancel wall incorporates puddingstone along with flint.
