Mistley Towers are the twin towers of all that’s left of the now demolished Church of St. Mary the Virgin at Mistley in Essex. I had no idea such a thing existed so it was quite a surprise when I saw this for the first time on my last visit
I’ve driven past these derelict buildings in Takeley many times over the last few years, watching them deteriorate more and more each time.
