St Nicholas, Great Wakering Church – From Pevsner: "The most singular feature of this church is the two-storeyed C15 W porch added to the Norman W tower. This is an Early Saxon motif, and one wonders what can have been the reason for introducing it here? Older foundations, or simply some obstacle in the way of a two-storeyed S porch?"
