More about this scene

Beyond Anchor Hill the high street passes the churchyard with its gatepiers and gates presented by Eliza Howard in 1901. The church was damaged in the 1884 earthquake that also damaged parts of Colchester. The gap in the middle distance is the bridge over the railway line in its cutting.
