Great Waltham church is dedicated to St Mary and St Lawrence.
It’s a fine, light and spacious church, unusually wide for a Norman church, with a wonderful acoustic for music. The angels on the early 16th century roof beams gaze down on even more ancient pews, fine glass and wood carvings, and on the tomb of the Everard family with their little children. There's Roman brick in the tower, castellated side aisles and tower, and the heaviest set of 8 bells in Essex. The church is set in a beautiful churchyard with several other ancient and important buildings around.
