St Mary Magdalene's Churchyard, North Ockendon (also known as North Ockendon Parish Church)

Introduction

Still set in rural surroundings, the medieval church of St Mary Magdalene serves North Ockendon, one of the parishes of the Chafford Hundred. The churchyard is entered through a gate, with a path flanked by a fine avenue of lime trees leading to another gate looking out onto open fields. Adjacent to the churchyard is Hall Farm on the site of the 16th-century moated North Ockendon Hall, destroyed during World War 2.
