St Michael & All Angels, Copford

Ranked in the ‘Top 100’ by Simon Jenkins in his book “England’s Thousand Best Churches”. and described by Nikolaus Pevsner as “the most remarkable Norman parish church in the county”, we warmly welcome you to our Church.

What is it that makes St. Michael & All Angels church, Copford, so special? It is interesting architecturally and has a pretty woodland setting, on the edge of our small village, beside the cricket pitch. However, the remarkable Norman wall paintings are the real attraction, described by Simon Jenkins as “amongst the best in England”. Only five minutes off the A12 just south of Colchester, they are certainly worth a detour if you are visiting East Anglia.

The Church is open for private prayer every day, from 9am and either dusk or 5.30pm, whichever is earlier.
