About

This Grade II listed parish church has a beautiful setting in the village square in Tillingham, surrounded by white weatherboarded cottages and the village pub. 

The church has a 14th century tower with later battlements. Much of the rest of the church is 13th and 14th century, with a Norman north doorway and font. Inside, a Victorian rood screen and rood with Christ on the Cross separates the nave from the chancel.

In the churchyard are two Commonwealth War Graves from World War One: William Bowtle, Stoker 1st Class, who served on HMS P60, and Private Henry Sandford, who died in 1917 aged 18. There is a war memorial on the wall of the churchyard, commemorating those who died in both World Wars, and in Cyprus, plus a marble plaque inside the church from World War One.
