St. Mary & All Saints Church
The church of St. Mary and All Saints stands in Old Church Hill, Langdon Hills. Although located in Langdon Hills the church falls within the boundary of the Borough of Thurrock (formerly Thurrock Urban District 1936-1974; Orsett Rural District 1894-1936).

After many years standing empty and its condition deteriorating and causing concern, it was finally sold in the mid 1970s and is now a private residence. The church was formally closed in or around 1973.

There is unrestricted access to the graveyard.

In 1931, the then Rector, C. E. Livesey, wrote an account detailing the history of the church and parish, and that of the former parish of West Lee, which can be read here.
A list of the Church Rectors from 1366 to 1930 can be found here.

A new church to serve the parish was built in 1877, and this can be seen at the summit of Langdon Hills in the High Road.
