All Saints’ Dovercourt | St Paul’s Parkeston | St Nicholas’ Harwich | St Michael’s Ramsey

Mobile

The church was built on the site of a previous church and consecrated in 1822. It is built in the perpendicular gothic style of Suffolk bricks with pinnacles and buttresses made of artificial materical called coade stone. The window frames and slender internal columns are made from cast iron. It is a spacious building with many of the memorials from the old church within. Nonconformists were up in arms when a special parish rate was introduced by the then Churchwardens, to complete the work, which may account for the sub standard pews. It is the civic church for the area and has a Mayor's box set at right angles to the main nave seating, with a rest adjacent for the mace.
 

The flight and Rob son organ having been restored some years back, is in constant demand by organists from far and wide. During the Harwich Festival during late June, early July, the Church is used for a whole week of musical events. Also we host the Royal School of Church Music, on choir courses several times a year.
