Church of St Mary Magdalene, Medieval parish church in Great Burstead, England
The stone church features a three-stage west tower made of ragstone with limestone dressing, topped by a castellated parapet and shingle spire.
The current structure dates from the 12th century, replacing an earlier wooden church built during the Saxon period in the seventh century.
The church maintains both traditional and contemporary worship services, including regular Sunday masses following Common Worship and Book of Common Prayer formats.
The church building remains open daily from 9 AM until dusk, offering visitors access to explore its architectural features and peaceful grounds.
An 800-year-old yew tree stands at the rear of the church, recognized as the oldest specimen of its kind in Essex.
