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.
If anybody would like to expand to this series please do, I would just ask that you could let Sadexploration know first so he can keep track of the Church numbers and names to avoid duplication.
