St. Margaret's Church Stanford-le-Hope: An Aerial Masterpiece

Описание к видео St. Margaret's Church Stanford-le-Hope: An Aerial Masterpiece

St Margaret’s is one of Thurrock's Grade 1 listed churches. It stands on rising ground in the centre of the village. The walls are constructed mainly of ragstone rubble with some flint, with dressings of Reigate limestone. The present church seems to date from c.1180. This late Norman building was soon enlarged by adding a south aisle and chantry chapel, followed by a north aisle in c.1280. About 60 years later the south aisle was remodelled and the chancel extended eastwards. The original rather low tower was probably of this period also. The south porch dates from the 16th century, with modern alterations; the nail studded door is 400 years old.
