All Saints Church, East Horndon

All Saints Church features red Tudor brick construction with detailed stonework and stands on elevated ground with views towards the River Thames.

The Tyrell family of Heron Hall rebuilt this church in the late 1400s, replacing an earlier Norman structure that occupied the same location.

The interior contains multiple medieval monuments to the Tyrell family, including a memorial slab for Lady Alice Tyrell from 1422.

The churchyard remains open to visitors while the church building requires advance arrangements through the Churches Conservation Trust for internal access.

The church contains upper gallery rooms in its transepts, with one room featuring a Tudor fireplace suggesting previous residential use.
