Carpenter Chapel
[Extract from All Saints Writtle by
Stuart Platt, pub 1992]
 On the South wall is the last substantial addition to the
church - the Carpenter chantry with its rich stained glass window
depicting scenes from the life of the Blessed Virgin Mary. This window
was installed in 1870 by the children of Joseph and Frances Hardcastle
in memory of their mother; Joseph Hardcastle had been a partner in the
Writtle Brewery Company.
Built of brick in the early 16th
century, it is still
used for worship; from outside it can clearly be seen as a projection
from the south wall.
