Our Church dates from the 12th Century and has many features of interest. Read about the history of our church here
Our Churchyard
There has been a churchyard at St Mary-at-Latton for over one
thousand years
... and for long centuries the villagers have been laid to rest
here.
Our churchyard is looking really beautiful and well cared for, thanks to the work
put in by a small group of hard workers from church who are doing a really super job.
How about joining them? We meet together on Thursday mornings from 9.30am until about 1.30pm. Just turn up and bring tools with you if you have any.
Could you adopt one of the older graves, which are no longer attended by anyone? They just need to be kept weeded and tidy. Ask the vicar or Lois our warden about this if you are interested.
Our volunteers take great care of our Churchyard. If you use or visit our Churchyard please download our Conservation Guidelines which explains how everybody can help look after our Churchyard. Our Churchyard is a peaceful place to visit for both people and wildlife. Please download our information sheet to find out more about the creatures you may see during your visit and how we try to encourage them.
Best Kept Churchyard Competition 2015
The hard work of all our volunteers was recently recognised when we were awarded first prize in the Essex Best Kept Churchyard Competition.
There are no gardening mistakes, only
experiments!
