Rainham - St Helen St Giles

A late Norman church (c.1170) which is relatively unchanged from the original, not least because of the sensitive restoration work carried out between 1897 and 1910 by Ernest Geldart. The picture above shows the priest's door with its round arch decorated with two orders of zigzag carving. Inside, similar chevrons can be seen on the Norman chancel arch.
