About All Saints Church, East Horndon

All Saints' Church stands alone on a hill above East Horndon in Essex, built of mellow red Tudor brick with views stretching to the Thames.

The Tyrell family of nearby Heron Hall rebuilt it on the site of a Norman church in the fifteenth century.

Inside are galleried upper rooms set into the transepts, one with a Tudor fireplace that may have warmed a resident priest.

The Churches Conservation Trust has cared for the building since the 1970s, after decades of decay and vandalism.

History of All Saints Church, East Horndon

A memorial slab marks the grave of Lady Alice Tyrell, who died in 1422, and a small chantry holds the tomb of Sir Thomas Tyrell, who died in 1476, alongside his wife. The Tyrell family continued to be buried at the church for four centuries. All Saints fell into disrepair and suffered theft and vandalism before restoration by the All Saints Society and the Churches Conservation Trust in the 1970s. It is now listed Grade II*.
