Geocache Description:

Cornish Hall End is a small village situated in the North of Essex. The main part of the village is a ribbon development of about 60 houses on either side of the road with many outlying farms, hamlets and individual houses.



St John the Evangelist stands in the centre of the village on the left side of the B1057, if travelling south. The church is surrounded by a brick wall and iron gates. The latter lead to a small churchyard and the main entrance. As the building is largely obscured by trees and close to the main road, a good clear view is difficult.

The church was erected in 1840 in red brick with white brick dressings. There is a lancet style porch with angle turretts which were originally pinnacled. In 1910 the bell turret was replaced with a bell tower inside the west wall and the east end was extended to provide an enlarged chancel, vestry and sacristy. A framed inscription on the wall at the back of the church mentions the church enalagement to cater for more 'sittings' many of which were deemed 'free'. A much more recent addition to the church is a small kitchen and a toilet.



Below is the east stained glass window by Holiday (1911). According to Pevsner it's not one of his best.




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
