All Saints Church. This was the original church for Epping, of which the church in the town was a chapel of ease. It is built of flint rubble covered in pebble- dash. The nave appears to be 13th and there have been many additions since. It was originally a possession of Waltham Abbey passing to the Crown at the dissolution. There is a 16th red brick tower. There are six bells and a bell chamber in the tower with notices about notable ringing sessions. Also on the tower is a clock – which is fixed on a place where it can be seen by latecomers from Epping. There are many monuments including a brass to Palmer, Professor of Common Law at Cambridge.  John Overall was vicar here in 1592; he is one of the people who helped translate the Authorised Version.
Churchyard. There is a mounting block outside the church. There is a Giant Redwood, Wellingtonia alongside the church
