St. Andrews, Marks Tey

I think the vicar of Aldham also looks after this church but I could be wrong.
It is very old and has a wooden Tower. The spire from what I remember is
stone.
Certainly both Donna and I have ancestors that were baptised there and probably
married there as well.

Aldham Church

The church used to be sited west of the village but in 1853 it was decided to move it to a more central position.All the old materials were used with some exceptions and a vestry and tower with spire were added. The Church dates from 14th. century. My 3rd. g.grandfather was the first body to be interred in the new church yard.

West Bergholt Church

Although still a consecrated site the church is not in regular use, it appears that major rebuilding had occurred in the 14th century to the earlier fabric of the single-cell Saxon church. The north wall of the original Saxon church still survives in the existing north wall of th church, which the excavators assessed to be of the date c.A,D,1000. PCC minutes in Latin but translated to present day language are on the walls at back of the church. A number of my ancestors were baptised here.
