St Mary's Church, Little Bromley
St Mary's Church Little Bromley is cared for by the Churches Conservation Trust.
Over the last few years, the Trust has carried out major repairs and the church is used occasionally for services by the parish of the Bromleys.
In 2006 the Friends of Little Bromley Church was started with the aim of encouraging the use of the church as a community resource.
This little church was built in the eleventh century and was further beautified in the fourteenth and fifteenth centuries when the splendid tower was built. Of particular interest is the stained glass from the 1930s, which includes pictures of Sir Christopher Wren (come and see to find out why!), and King Charles the Martyr.
Appropriately for this "church in the fields", part of the churchyard is kept as a conservation area.
