CHURCH MICRO 470 ST NICHOLAS TOLLESHUNT D'ARCY
The church is mainly late 15th century with a tall embattled
tower. Brasses to the D’arcy family who gave the village its name
are inside the chapel and there is a monument to Thomas D’arcy and
his wife Camilla 1593. The chapel, often referred to as the D’Arcy
Chapel, is late 15th century and the burial place of several of the
D’Arcy family.
To mark the turn of the millennium a window was paid for by the
residents of the village. Its design by a resident artist and
execution and installation by a local craftsmen incorporates the
Christian millennium symbol, the D’Arcy spice apples, the blue line
of the nearby River Blackwater, farming through the seasons, and
the strawberry plants, recalling the importance of the soft fruit
and jam industry in this locality. Words from the Book of
Revelation chapter 22 verse 2 'the leaves of the trees are for the
healing of the nations' are at the base. Edward Bishop of
Colchester dedicated it on 23rd July 2000.
