St Nicholas Church

St Nicholas Church, Laindon is a 13th century grade 1 church. It has two notable features; the timber frame bell tower is as fine as anything in Essex. Whilst at the west end of the church is a unique 16th century timber frame priest house, which became a school for over 250 years. The local Comprehensive School is named after the last School Teacher, James Hornsby.
The church stands isolated on a small hill, with a 360 degrees outlook over the surrounding district. On a clear day Canary Wharf can be clearly seen.
