All Saints Church |
 |
All Saints church in London Road, Vange, is thought to
date from around 1328 and believed to be the oldest surviving church in Basildon.
The interior, once lit by oil lamps, was later wired for light after electricity was installed
to provide heating in 1931.
Although closed to services since 1994, 2004 saw scaffolding
erected as part of a three year maintenance and restoration programme. The roof, exterior
woodwork, and the interior were just some of the areas undertaken to ensure the survival of the
Grade II listed building, which is now cared for by the Churches Conservation Trust.
