Visited on 14th July 2017. It is tucked down a little lane from the main road, and East Mersea Hall and a large caravan site are just nearby although you can’t see either of them from the church. Just before the turn off from the main road is a cafe called Mehalah’s, a reference to the book written by St Edmund’s most famous vicar, Sabine Baring Gould. The cafe is quirky, with bookshelves and a piano inside. We had coffee and a slice of rose and almond cake, very tasty!
The church has a large palm tree growing hard up against the tower, rather exotic for Essex. It was open, and nobody was around, either inside or out.

There was no noticeboard outside the church, so here is a photo of Mehalah’s cafe instead 🙂
