Ranked in the ‘Top 100’ by Simon Jenkins in his book “England’s Thousand Best Churches”. Described by Pevsner as “the most remarkable Norman parish church in the county”
What is it that makes St. Michael & All Angels church, Copford, so special? It is interesting architecturally and has a pretty woodland setting, on the edge of our small village, beside the cricket pitch. However, the remarkable Norman wall paintings are the real attraction, described by Simon Jenkins as “amongst the best in England”. Only five minutes off the A12 just south of Colchester, they are certainly worth a detour if you are visiting East Anglia.
Copford Church is open for private prayer every day, from 9am and the earlier of dusk or 5.30pm.
Covid Update: The Government have announced that from Thursday, 27th January it will no longer be compulsory to wear a face covering in church, but we will continue to encourage you to do so. We will ensure that those who wish to be socially distanced are able to, in order to attend church. Please also remember to stay at home if you are not well, even if it is just a cold. Thank you for keeping everyone safe.
