The Parish Chest which is original has three locks. The interior is subdivided into two sections and the lid is divided in line with these sections. At one time all the parish records were kept in the chest but about 10 years ago the records were all sent to the Esex County Record office. Above the Parish Chest is the modern glass depicting St Cecilia, Patron Saint of Music, also St Ambrose and St Gregory, both reformers of Church Music. Two great composers and performers of Church Music are also shown, namely Bach and Palestrina. THE CHURCHYARD Against the east wall of the church below the cast window is the "Savage Memrial" this is a listed memorial and the words should be ncted! We do not have any famous memorial but the churchyard is a large one and beautifully kept by a band of volunteers and there are some intriguing graves, in the north cast corner will be found some war graves from the first world war one to a "sailor of the 1st world war" whose body was washed up on Horsey Island which is on the edge of one of our Parish boundaries The Church Hall at the bottom of the drive dates from 1901 it was built on the site of the village school which was demolished due to subsidence in the late 1800's the churchyard was also extended at this time as originally it's boundary was about half way up the church drive. THE CHURCH CLOCK The clock was given by Miss Shum who lived at Hill House, Halstead Rd. from whence she could see one of it's 2 faces. It was originally driven by clockwork and weights but is now electrically driven and maintained by Tendring Council as a public clock. On special occasions St.George's flag is flown from the top of the tower.
