Waltham Abbey, Essex

Waltham Abbey on Wikipedia.
 

The Church of the Holy Cross. The adjacent abbey was a victim of Henry VIII, but the parish church was unmolested. Originally a church was dedicated here in 1060 by the later King Harold. The core of the present church has more or less the same footprint. Two further views - 1, 2, an interior view, details of two columns (very reminiscent of Durham Cathedral) - 1, 2, and the font. One survival of the Abbey itself is its gatehouse (grade II* listed). TL 3811 0064. All © Christopher Skottowe (1964). Two additional views - 1, 2, interior view, the altar, and a fine monument. King Harold is allegedly buried here - a stone marks the site. All © Peter Morgan (2015). Christopher Skottowe has an old album containing a sketch of a church, which has previously been in the Unknown section. Though there's no indication of the date of the sketch, it is probably from late Victorian times. Simon Davies has identified it as Waltham Abbey in Essex, before Victorian alterations increased the height of the tower. An old engraving of the church can be seen here and (coloured) here. Link. Grade I listed.
