St Mary's Church, Wivenhoe
Heritage Open Day: St Mary's is a largely mid-Victorian church in the heart of the picturesque riverside town of Wivenhoe. The church was recently refurbished and extended to enable it to function as a community space in the 21st century. The church is first mentioned in 1254. At least part of the medieval church survives today, including the tower built around 1500. Following a fire in 1850, the church was extensively rebuilt by a local architect E. C. Hakewill (1816-72). Shortly afterwards, it was damaged in the Colchester Earthquake, which occurred on 22 April 1884.
Inside, there are memorial brasses to William, Viscount Beaumont (died 1507) and his second wife, Elizabeth Scroope (died 1537), who subsequently became the wife of the 13th Earl of Oxford.
