St Erkenwald, Southend-on-Sea Church – Exterior 1: St Erkenwald's church from the southeast. This church first began to intrigue me when I was about four years old. I never got to see the inside of it properly. It was made redundant also when I was about four!! It intrigued me so much, that I eventually created a whole website to preserve it in cyberspace. The church itself was eventually demolished in 1995. For more on this church, see: www.st-erkenwalds.co.uk
