More about this scene
In 1800, shortly after the roof of Chelmsford's future cathedral had collapsed, the tower of All Saints', Writtle, followed suit. The events prompted the bucolic rhyme “Chelmsford church and Writtle steeple both fell down, but killed no people”. Two years later, Writtle's belfry was “rebuilt after a tasteless fashion” ('Little Guide to Essex').
