A bird's eye view of St Mary's, Mundon in Essex.
This wonderful brick and timber medieval church has been in our care since 1975. Before we adopted it, its fate was a race of how quickly it could collapse or be demolished...

We've undertaken many phases of repairs over the past 45 years, but with damage from an errant V-bomb in 1944, dereliction and vandalism in the 1970s, and the unstable soil, this is a church that needs a lot of care.

St Mary's will always be a work in progress.
We’ve just completed repairs to the woodwork: windows, beams and boxpews. We've also installed monitors throughout to help us understand how, why and when the church is moving, so we can develop a plan for structural repairs.

These superb aerial images are by Jason Neilus, and the repairs at St Mary’s are funded by @DCMS’s Heritage Stimulus Fund. Thank you!
