Welcome to our PGS site and thank you for your interest in our beautiful church in its rural setting. A Five Parishes church in Essex, St Mary the Virgin, Tilty is a Grade I listed church of outstanding historical and architectural interest. It was originally the gatehouse chapel of a great Cistercian Abbey, which was destroyed soon after the dissolution of the monasteries in 1536. Amongst its many features is an enormous and striking east window of reticulated stone tracery and a high ceiling with the original 12th century beams. We rely heavily on donations from our generous supporters, and regular gifts contribute to our work in this parish. An added bonus to us is the optional annual cost of living increase available by donating via PGS.
