St Margaret's Church, Woodham Mortimer The Church was extensively refurbished in from 1840 to 1891 leaving only traces of a much older church. The south wall and the eastern end remain as original. A brass to 3 yr old Dorothy Alleine is dated 1584. The font is of 13th century on a 15th century base. The pulpit, alter and organ case have nice carvings dating to the 17th century. Three nice stained glass windows are complemented by a small window built to commemorate Queen Victoria's Diamond Jubilee.
