The church at Greensted Ongar
The bell tower was built in 1720. The brick extension was built in 1550. The oaken walls of the nave were built in 845. When you consider a mature oak is 400 to 500 years old, these trees were saplings when the Romans were still in Britain.

As always, click on the photos to embiggen. A few more photos are on Flickr.
