LOCAL HISTORY FACT:

The parish church is thought to have been built in the 12th century.

In 1878, it was renovated when cracks appeared in the tower and the walls of the nave were being pushed outwards by the weight of the roof.

Information from ‘The Three Hamlets of Woodford cm Membris’, J.W. Anscomb, 1995.
