Church of St Mary, Saxon church building in Prittlewell, Southend-on-Sea, England.
The Church of St Mary stands with its prominent west tower, built around 1470, featuring diagonal buttresses and stone chequered battlements against the Southend-on-Sea skyline.
The church origins trace back to 650 AD, with a Saxon arch made from Roman brick voussoirs still present in the north wall of the chancel.
The building contains numerous architectural elements from different periods, including a Tudor carved door and a 16th-century octagonal font with rose motifs.
The Grade I listed status requires specific permissions from local planning authorities for any modifications or renovations to preserve its historical features.
The church exhibits chequered flint patterns in its battlements, while its two-storey south porch dates from the 15th century.
