Wrabness
WRABNESS (All Saints) has no bell-tower as such. Just a one-story weatherboarded little shed, set away from the church, which looks rather like a village lock-up, and is probably from the 17th. or 18th. century. There is a nave, and a lower chancel, and the 14th. century Norman north door has fleurons and hung-up shields in the voissoirs. The building has a hammerbeam roof, which is not a frequent feature of Essex churches. The Font is octagonal, in the Perpendicular style, with deliberately defaced figures of evangelists and their symbols.
