The Victoria County History (Essex, vol. 4, 1956) notes: "The medieval parish church of St. Peter became ruinous towards the end of the 18th century and was considered unsafe for use after June 1800. [...] In 1811 a new church was built on the same foundations". The VCH entry informs that no furnishings from the demolished medieval church remain; the present church is the second one of the 19th-century, but the original medieval church is document to ca. 1250, and probably existed much earlier. [NB: we have no information on the medieval font].
