Thorley, Church Of St James The Great 1899

More about this scene
Some visitors to Hertfordshire think that Thorley lies on the main road between Bishop's Stortford and Sawbridgeworth - this should, correctly, be called Thorley Street. Frith has photographed the church at the true village of Thorley about a mile to the west of the town. In 1899 it was a declining community, with a few cottages and this isolated church. The recent boom in housing development has seen the expansion of Bishop's Stortford up to the edge of Thorley but the church, parts of which date from the 12th century, and the cottages survive at the southern end of Church Lane, close to the pond. Francis Burloes, who was given the living of Thorley in 1594 by Queen Elizabeth I, was one of the translators of the Authorised Version of the Bible.
