This humble little chapel in Tillingham, on the Dengie Peninsula in Essex, was completed in 1867 for the Perculiar People. They were strict Puritan group founded in Rochford in 1838, and this religious trend spread through Victorian Essex. They attended day-long services on Sundays which often involved prayer and hymns in strict fashion, complete with plain dress and sobriety. It is one of the few surviving chapels of the 43 once built, and sat derelict since circa 2005 until works began in early 2024. Another chapel built by the Perculiar People lies nearby at Steeple, built in 1877. At the time of writing, it is unclear what the plans for the Tillingham chapel are, but it is hopefully under conversion and not demolition.
