Place of Prayer The Priory Church of St Laurence, Blackmore has been a place of prayer since at least 1160 when an Augustinian Priory was founded on the site. Still evident is the cresset stone - unique to Essex - which illuminated the way the Priors took in the Middle Ages from the Cloister to offer prayer. The west door shows Norman architecture of 1170 through which the people came to worship. Today's pilgrims (our visitors) have the opportunity to light a candle and offer their meditations. |
