Church of St Gregory and St George • Pentlow

12th Century round-towered church, with later additions and restoration. One of only six round-towered churches in Essex. 

Inside what was once the Chantry chapel, was taken over by the Kempe family in the 1600s. 

There is an impressive effigy to Judge George Kempe, and his son and wife, which features 10 kneeling daughters and 4 kneeling sons.
