Copford - St Michael and All Angels - Vault Springers

The vaulting was once painted with geometric designs surrounding a panel showing a biblical scene. The vaulted ceiling collapsed at some point, and all that remains are the springers, and some scriptual feet. The near arch is built entirely of brick, only some of which were re-used from Roman buildings. The other bricks were manufactured locally, and are among the earliest medieval ones in England. This arch was completed before 1300.
