Reason for status change (if applicable/optional)
28.03.2022 JMB: Images from Sharefile. Two names can be seen on the window but such low resolution that difficult to read.
Found a report of a window and tablet but think it might be a different church, just described as Hawkwell Church and in a Chelmsford newspaper.
Confirmed this record is St Mary the Virgin from image on HE website.
