Haunted Britain: St Mary's Church, Langenhoe, Essex, England.
Site of the church once famed within paranormal circles as, 'The Most Haunted Church In England'. With links to the even more famous Borley Rectory haunting through the Waldegrave family, this place has some dark and interesting tales to tell. If only its long ago greatness could be glimpsed today through a greater lens than which the murky veiled ponderings of yesteryear provide, and that we were left with more than just the stories and echoes of a place that once was.
But alas, all we have today are the stories handed down, as the church itself has long been demolished. Still, this is an atmospheric location and one that is worthy of a visit. And from its destruction we are left with one obvious question! Was the church really unsafe? Or was it too much bad publicity for an establishment already showing signs of falling numbers, to maintain a religious building with such an infamous reputation? It has been reported that one of the final demolition team stated that the building would have never fallen, insinuating that it didn't really need to be demolished. And it is fact that many other churches have been left to stand in ruinous state, many even being stabilised and made 'safe' to be open to the public.

Greensted Church- Haunted England
The ancient Greensted Church is located in Essex. We were not expecting any paranormal activity on our visit. It was just on the way back to London from Norfolk and Sussex. However, when our photos were downloaded, three photos showed clear spirit orbs. In one photo alone there could be counted at least 12 orbs, in another 7 orbs and the other, 4 orbs. Amazing!
It was like an entire paranormal welcoming committee. I had spoken to the volunteer mowing the churchyard and told him how beautiful the church was and how well he was keeping the grounds. Maybe the orbs heard this and came out in appreciation That is a benign interpretation.
The other way of viewing it was that the photo with the 12 orbs in it was the one when Lady Cholmondeley was buying a tea shirt from the display counter. Maybe they were manifesting themselves to make sure she paid for it! (She did) After all the poor gent mowing the churchyard (where his wife lay buried) has had his mower stolen several times from the garden shed and people having been pinching the chutneys from the help yourself counter at the back of the church without paying for them! Good to see ghosts gainfully employed!
Now for the formal history of this wonderful church:
The Church of St Andrew, Greensted-juxta-Ongar.
Greensted Church has been situated in its idyllic setting for nearly 1,200 years. Archaeological evidence suggests that, before there was a permanent structure, there may well have been another church, or a holy place, on the site for much longer, possibly dating back to around the 4th century.
Construction of the first permanent church on this site is thought to have begun shortly after St Cedd began his conversion of the East Saxon people around 654. The archaeological remnants of two simple wooden buildings were discovered under the present chancel floor, and these are thought to have been built in the late sixth or early 7th century.
The church's dedication to St Andrew suggests a Celtic foundation for the original sanctuary. The body of King Edmund the Martyr of East Anglia (who was killed in 870, possibly at Hoxne) is said to have rested there in 1013, on its way to reburial at Bury St Edmunds.
The nave is mostly original, and dendrochronological research in the 1960s dated it to 845. In 1995, however, this date was revised to 1053 +10 -55 years (sometime between 998 and 1063). It is made of large split oak tree trunks, which was a traditional Saxon way of building. The flint footings of the chancel wall and the pillar piscina inside the sanctuary are all that are left of any Norman work.
1500s
The original chancel was small and built of timber, but the current brick-built chancel dates from this period of construction.
1600--1800
The distinctive white wood-panelled tower was added in the Stuart period (17th century), and is what initially draws the eye.
Around this time the three dormer windows were added to the nave for the first time, and the south porch was added. A fragment of 15th--century glass can be seen in the centre of the quatrefoil window at the west end, but it was set there during the Victorian restoration.
In 1013 an ancient chronicler records that the body of St Edmund was, for a night, deposited at Greensted Church. There are many tributes to St Edmund in the church itself.
Also, near the porch, a large, flat, coped stone marks the quiet resting place of an unknown early crusader who is said to have arrived, badly wounded, at the church and died there. The fact that it was made of stone, not a local material, and was placed against the south wall, suggests he was considered as a hero
The Tolpuddle Martyrs were granted farm tenancies in the area after they were unable to return to their Dorset homes and the record of marriage of one of them, James Brine, can be seen in the present register.
Peal at Colchester, St Peter
Part of a peal of Plain Bob Major rung at St Peter's Colchester on the 16th December 2017. Being Taylor bells from 1913, they sound glorious both inside and outside, especially when rung well. While they are slightly harder around the back, the peal was a joy to ring in. The video includes the lowering at the end.
