The Chapel of St-Peter-on-the-Wall in Bradwell-on-Sea has a fascinating and very, very long history.
Beautifully remote, this tiny coastal chapel looks more like an abandoned barn than a place of worship; indeed, its long history includes a spell as a barn in the 18th century.
One of the oldest churches in Britain, it was built in 654 by St Cedd on the foundations of a Roman fort along its west wall, hence the name. Indeed, St Cedd’s mission in Essex was so successful that he was made Bishop of the East Saxons.
