What can we offer? 8. The Wider Context 9. Finance 10. The Rectory 11. Basildon 12. Conclusion Basildon and Our Church at Present Basildon is situated in South Essex, positioned between the A13 and the A127. It was one of the many New Towns that were developed following the New Towns Act of 1946. London, which had been badly damaged throughout the Second World War, was overcrowded and housing was largely very poor. ‘New Towns’ were the Labour Governments answer to the problem. This year we celebrate the 70th anniversary of the start of the work in the building of Basildon. St Martins stands in the centre of the town, adjacent to St Martins Bell Tower, built in the millennium, the first steel and glass Bell Tower in the world, and the Civic Centre, housing the secular aspect of Basildon. From the outside the building is not particularly impressive but step through the door and stand at the back, looking towards the altar, and the magnificence of this house of God really hits you. On the far east wall hangs a very large cross and when the lights are on, the shadow from the cross depicts three crosses on the wall; just as they stood together at Calvary, at the crucifixion. The Sanctuary, chancel steps and centre aisle are carpeted. But what now really strikes the on-lookers’ eyes are the breath-taking modern stained-glass windows on the south and north sides of the church, almost ceiling to floor.
