More about this scene
The church of St Mary and St Hugh was badly damaged by fire in 1708, which burnt down the spire and melted the bells. When was rebuilt a dome was constructed over the crossing and a new bell tower at the west end. While the work was going on, a small iron chest was unearthed, inscribed in Latin 'St Catherine's blood'. A 13th-century stained glass window depicting the Virgin and Child was saved, and has remained intact through many alterations. The church has the largest collection of brasses in any Essex church.
