Travel Guide

Wivenhoe Parish Church In 1884 the Church of St Mary The Virgin was damaged by the Essex earthquake, one of the most severe British earthquakes on record. The western pillar in the north aisle was displaced, the upper storey of the tower damaged and many slates came off the roof. The subsequent repairs can still be traced.

Fantastically stylish house in a great location. We had an issue with the front door and with no hot water but Michael was very speedy in talking me through the problem. I would have no problem recommending this property.
