St Germanus' Church, Faulkbourne

St Germanus, Faulkbourne

St Germanus' Church is an active Church of England church in the village of Faulkbourne in Essex, England.[1] Much of the existing church dates to the 12th and 13th centuries. It has been Grade I listed since 1967.[2]

The church is dedicated to Saint Germanus, a bishop of Auxerre in Late Antique Gaul, who visited Britain to suppress the Pelagian heresy in about 429. The church may have been dedicated to Saint Germanus because it was consecrated on his feast day, 31 July.[3]
