Langley St John the Evangelist

 

The Parish

The parish of Langley lies in the extreme northwest of Essex and forming a stretch of the border with neighbouring Hertfordshire, Cambridgeshire,too, is not so far away from it either. Langley is located roughly 8 miles west of the market town of Saffron Walden. Langley sits within an area devoid of significant numbered roads, the closest such road is the B1039 which links Saffron Walden with Royston in Hertfordshire and which lies some 3 miles north of Langley. Langley is a distributed village consisting of 2 distinct settlements, Lower Green and a half mile northeast, and appropriately higher, Upper Green. It is at Upper Green that one finds the church and the 17th century Langley Hall. Most Essex parishes have a distinctly arable feel but early gazetteers place only 50% of Langley's acreage as set to crops with almost an equal amount devoted to pastures & woodland. Langley is drained southeastwards by the infant River Stort which joins the Lee on the outskirts of Greater London, passes through the East End before meeting the outer Thames and the North Sea. Lower Green is sited at around 110 metres with Upper Green some 20 metres higher on some of the highest ground in its county, just across the Hertfordshire border a local high spot of 142 metres marks the highest ground. Langley parish was fairly typically sized for its area, covering close to 1,600 acres it would have supported a population of around 450 parishioners. Langley is not specifically mentioned in Domesday Book.


The Church

St John's church sits in Upper Green close by to Langley Hall and accessed along The Causeway, a narrow dead-end lane leading northwest from the main lane through that part of the village. St John is a mixture of three distinct eras of church building. The earliest portion is the nave, a 12th century origin is postulated by Pevsner and illustrated by the Norman Romanesque style of the northern wall's small window. In date sequence next one finds the western tower, a 14th century unbuttressed tower topped by a pyramidal roof which is in the Perpendicular style of the later half of that century. Later still and 16th century is the chancel, this was an unusual period for church-building, in an unusual material, namely brick. Like most churches the Victorians made their changes, in this case they were substantial covering 1884-5. Besides restoration and re-seating the southern porch, nave southern wall and the top-most stage of the tower were all rebuilt, in addition the vestry was also added during this phase. The Causeway is narrow and gets narrower nearest the churchyard with no turning area, park away from the immediate surroundings. The un-fenced churchyard, once within, is open and uncluttered with no major obstacles for the photographer.
