In Arthur Mee's Essex, first published 1942, it is said of the church:
"The church tower is a bold stone structure of 1400, with flint crosses and two nail-studded doors, both 600 years old. The oldest possession of the church is the Norman font, and there are windows and doorways which have been ere 600 years; but the best thing is the 400-year-old hammerbeam roof of the nave.
