Feering is a village and parish in the Witham District of Essex, England situated on the river Blackwater between Colchester and Witham 2 miles SE of Coggeshall. The Post town is Kelvedon. There are two burial sites, the St Martins Cemetery and All Saints Churchyard. The parish once belonged to Edward the Confessor. The porch with pinnacles and battlements and south front of the church were rebuilt in red brick c1500. The chancel was rebuilt in the first half of the 14th century, whilst the tower, now with eight bells, is 15th century. There were probably five bells when the tower was originally built. The nave dates back to at least the 13th century. The niche over the porch door, empty for centuries, was filled in 1985 with a terracotta statue of Madonna and Child to the design of the sculptress Stella Ling. The stone altar, which was built in 1961 by two parishioners, contains fragments from the ruins of Coggeshall Abbey, Walsingham Abbey and Colne Priory. The altar piece, a painting by John Constable showing the risen Christ was given to the church in 1965 but this has since be replaced by a copy, the original may now be seen in St Mary the Virgin, Dedham.A thirteenth century coffin lid rests within the church along with a medieval chest and another of about 1600.
