Please bring a pen!
The parish church of St. Ouen, more commonly know as St
Andrew's, is a Grade II listed church in Fingringhoe, near
Colchester.
The Nave is of 12th century construction and is built from Roman
brick. The west tower, south chapel and chancel are all of 14th
century construction also with extensive reuse of Roman brick. The
tower is consists of bands of flint rubble, limestone and
chequer-work at the base.
The 15th century porch is of chequered flint.There are carved
spandrels the the outer doorway and a 14th century inner
door.
There are the remains of wall paintings which depict the Virgin, St
Christopher, St Michael, a seated woman and Christ as man of
sorrows.
There is a 17th century brass to John Alleyne, and a monument to
George Frewe.
The roof is of plain red tile construction, but the nave is
unusual, with a round arched to double collars, clasping the collar
purlin.
There is also a late 14th century south door.
Please don't pull on the cache to detach it, it doesn't come
off! It needs to be unscrewed. Thanks.
