St Mary, Ramsden Crays Church - Ramsden Crays parish church is described in Pevsner as being "Now disused and ruinous." This would have been part of the revision made by Enid Radcliffe. Further investigation has shown that the church was, indeed, unfit for use in the 1960s, and the congregation used the nearby church hall for all services. In 1993, the church was again closed, this time permanently, and the church hall took over all its functions. You can find more details about Ramsden Crays (or Crays Hill) church by clicking here.

St Mary, Ramsden Crays Church - Despite the church now undergoing conversion into a private dwelling, the churchyard is still open and used for burials. The main fabric of the church dates from 1871, when a major rebuild was undertaken. Some materials from the original 14th century church were reused however, including the windows and the belfry with its broach spire.
