Sadly not Minster church Lutonman, but Diapason does indeed have it. The church, before the construction of the present Murston church in the late nineteenth century, was called All Saints Church, Murston. As previously mentioned the church was the centre of a typical marsh side village, though antiquarian writers are not very complimentary about it due to the ‘Marsh fever’, which infected men, women and children alike. Prior to the near obliteration of the village nearly all the inhabitants were employed by the brickworks, which took advantage of the natural clay of the area, as well as the creek side wharfs. However, the closure of the brickworks caused the village to move to the south and its medieval church became derelict. Largely demolished, only its former chancel remained as a mortuary chapel to the surrounding churchyard. Having suffered varying uses it is presently undergoing a scheme of restoration with additional artists studios adjacent to help turn it into a community hub once again.
