About

St. Giles' is a unique Grade II* Listed building. It is difficult to accurately date the original building, but although Roman tiles and bricks were identified in the fabric of the church during work in the 1930s, most experts believe the building is of early Norman construction.

The Chancel and Nave were built in the late 11th or early 12th century with a square extension added to the Chancel in the 15th century. The church was drastically restored in 1881-1882 by Edward Browning, architect of Stamford. The Chancel was entirely rebuilt and the north aisle (with the crypt beneath), the south porch, and the north-east bell turret were added. Norman-style windows were built into the north and south walls of the chancel, and a vestry was added.

St. Giles' is a beautiful church which has served its community for over 900 years and is still offering villagers a place for worship, baptism, marriage and burial as well as being a centre for choral and other musical events. Morning worship takes place every Sunday. At most services Parish Communion is celebrated by a priest apart from the first Sunday when Morning Prayer is led by a member of the congregation. On fifth Sundays we are joined by other local churches either here or at Heybridge or Heybridge Basin. Our choir give added heart to our Sunday morning worship and after the service refreshments are served.

The churchyard is home to two Commonwealth War Graves from the First World War, Frederick Joslin, a driver in the Army Service Corps who died in 1917, and Private George Dorking of the Duke of Wellington's West Riding Regiment who died in 1918 aged just 17. George was the son of Charles and Sarah Dorking who lived in Langford. His brother Charles died in 1917 and is buried in France.
