Thundridge Old Church
The old church of Thundridge, situated in the valley, near the river Rib, about half a mile from the North Road, was demolished - with the exception of the tower in 1853, and a great part of the material was used in the restoration of Sacomb Church. It was one of the oldest churches in this part of the county, and the low, semi-circular arch which connected with the nave, is enriched with a magnificent example of Norman moulding, which indicates the period of its building to have been about the year 1100.
Not a vestige of the church itself now remains; it is impossible even to trace its foundations, as the entire churchyard, and the site of the building itself, is covered with a vast growth of weeds and briars.
