■ Waltham Abbey Church
Waltham Abbey Church is a historic church located in Waltham Abbey, Essex, England. The church was originally built in the 11th century as part of the Norman Conquest. Its origins are tied to St. Edward the Confessor, and there is a legend that his remains were once buried here. Notably, the monastery established at this site after his death became an important religious center at the time. Waltham Abbey was also known as a monastery and reached its peak in the 12th century. The monastery held significant influence, attracting many worshippers. However, during the 16th-century English Reformation, King Henry VIII dissolved the monasteries, confiscating their lands and buildings for the Crown. As a result, much of the monastery’s structures fell into ruin. The Waltham Abbey Church that stands today consists of parts reconstructed after the dissolution of the monastery. The church features Gothic-style architecture, particularly notable for its stunning stained glass windows and impressive architectural details. While preserving its medieval heritage, the church also serves modern purposes, remaining a focal point of faith for the local community. Additionally, its long history and magnificent architecture make it a popular tourist destination. The decorations and carvings within the church are truly remarkable, adding to its value as a historic landmark and making it one of England’s notable attractions. I visited the church with my family and was captivated by its grandeur and the breathtakingly beautiful stained glass windows. I couldn’t help but take many photographs as I admired its splendor. The current building was constructed in the 12th century and has a history spanning over 850 years. Simply being able to see such a historically significant structure with my own eyes made the visit truly worthwhile. ![]() Nikon D850 / AF-S Zoom Nikkor 28-70mm f2.8D IF-ED / ISO1000 / f3.2 / 1/125s / -0.3 ![]() Nikon D850 / AF Zoom Nikkor 80-200mm f2.8D ED / ISO1000 / f4.5 / 1/125s / -0.7 ![]() Nikon D850 / AF-S Zoom Nikkor 28-70mm f2.8D IF-ED / ISO1000 / f4.0 / 1/250s / -0.7 ![]() Nikon D850 / AF Zoom Nikkor 80-200mm f2.8D ED / ISO4000 / f4.5 / 1/200s / +0.3 ![]() Nikon D850 / AF Zoom Nikkor 80-200mm f2.8D ED / ISO2000 / f4.5 / 1/200s / -0.3
